I'm looking for a new compressor because mine is locked up. Does anyone know the part number?

How hard is it to change the pully from a V-belt to the serpentine?

I'll check for you tomorrow at work on the PN. Don't get off till 6pm though so you'll have to wait lol

No problem. I just need a good search term for Ebay. They come up every once in a while and I can set it to email me when one comes available.

It seems to be so old they are getting hard to find.

Just a warning though. My dad just put a new one on his 93 and it was over $500 retail. That's mopar and our store. Luckily I get 25% off Mopar parts Rebuilt one was $3something

Yeah, it's the something part that worries me.

Edwin would you consider using one of an old engine? Theres a couple being parted out in our classifieds and I think one is off my old truck,( means I know it worked).. just a thought since they are so dern $$$$$$$$$$$

and you have "V" belts????? changing would mean replacing all the pulleys, idler, and maybe some issues with allignning the pulleys as well... But i thought all these trucks used a serpintine belt..


and I find this hard to beleive, BUT, copy and psted from www.chryslerpartsdirect.com when i searched for AC Compressor for an 89 D350 deisel.........
COMPRESSOR, All Models, Diesel, w/o Intercooler 88-93 $231.31 $40.00 $180.42

No I have the serpentine belt. I was looking at a compressor for sale that had a V-belt pully.

Yes. I would consider a good used compressor as long as it had the caps on it to prevent moisture contamination. I understand that moisture will ruin them in short order.

Thanks for the link to the new compressor.

From what I understand( and that is little!) teh moisture is only an issue if they dotn dry the compressor before charging it. The moisture can cause a "hydraulic lock" in the compressor.. so they would need to put it under a vacum and remove any condensationo prior to charging i tor filling the oil side of it, BUT i am not 100% sure I am correct on that...

I just scored an unused reman from ebay for rediculously cheap. Shoot me a PM if you want the sellers name, he might have more.

90Firtgen... replacing the pulley on the compressor would be installing a new clutch assy with the correct style pulley right?

Yessir it's a whole unit. Clutch only numbers is as follows. Ready Aire: New 1357 Reman 13571 There's a $200 difference between the two. $77 or $277.
