anyone know how to remove it off the compressor on our trucks? i think mine is bad, so i am going to replace it...

 

Ttt

 

Thinking it is bad and being bad are two differnt things. What makes you think it is bad?

 

i have power at the clutch and the compressor.........and the compressor is free....if a compressor was bad, it would be locked up.......

i took the clutch off and it was all rusted up and covered in black gunk.......i am going to replace it tomorrow......

 

Is your a/c clutch fuse blown? The black gunk could be oil from a leaking compressor seal. Not good. The rust?? Did you do a continuity check on the clutch coil to see if the coil is open?

the black gunk i think is tranny fluid mixed with dirt/debris....i had a leaking tranny cooler line that is right in front of the compressor......

like i said, i have 12v to the clutch whenever i have the HVAC controls in the A/C position......so i would assume that the a/c clutch fuse isn't blown.......

the rust probably is from the a/c not being used.....the 1st 2 summers i had the truck, the a/c wasn't charged and i never got it fixed, so it wasn't used......

 

Sounds like you have it under control.

 

yea i checked out all the electric side first, then when the clutch would spin, i knew the pump wasn't locked up........i got a wild hair and just went after it yesterday taking the clutch and pulley off.......now i just got to go buy a new 1 and put it on after work........i hope that fixes it...

 

off topic, but I'm thinking there must not be a "Virgin" bolt, nut, or fastener left on your truck...lol.

 

the only bolts on my truck that haven't been messed with is the head bolts......other than than they all have been off some time or another....
