Ford AC Tools
Ford Motor Co., started by Henry Ford in 1903, is based in Dearborn, Michigan. Ford makes trucks, standard cars and sports utility vehicles (SUVs). Air conditioning in cars has been around since the 1940s, but it took a while for it to catch on. The original air conditioners used R-12 rigerant, but R-134a replaced it in 1995. R-134a is more environmentally friendly. If the air conditioning goes out on your vehicle, you can purchase the tools needed to help you remove and repair your AC.
