Will this bolt directly to my truck without modification?

Yes. This condenser mounts at the factory attachment points on 97-04 F-150 and F-250 models — no drilling or bracket fabrication required.

Do I need to have the system evacuated before swapping the condenser?

Your AC system will need to be depressurized by a technician before removal and recharged after installation. This isn't a DIY task — take it to a shop equipped to handle refrigerant.

What if the condenser arrives with damage?

Inspect the unit immediately upon arrival. Damage to aluminum cores can compromise cooling and cause leaks. Contact support within 48 hours if the condenser shows shipping damage or defects.
