OK, I'm an idiot. I won't bore you with the details, but whilst working on my new baby (03 Sport Trac XLT) I managed to go and puncture the A/C condenser. End result, a puddle of red oil all over the garage floor. It looks like an easy replacement with only two hoses coming out of the bottom of this thing, but hey, I don't need to be an idiot twice in one day and I'm a novice with a/c units. Is there much more involved? Where does that oil get put back in? Any help greatly appreciated!
 






The good news is that you did not puncture the AC condenser.....the bad news is you punctured the transmission cooler so do not drive the truck until it is repaired!
The replacment should be straight forward enough just be sure to check the tranny fluid level once you are done
 






Doh! Guess I'm a newbie at transmission cooling too. I can take being an idiot twice in one day for the sake of a simple $100 swapout though. Thanks for the quick reply!
