Does anyone know of a source for the A/C compressor clutch parts or a clutch pack kit? Mines starting to make noise. Parts stores dont carry the clutch kit. They will sell me a complete compressor for almost $300.00. The dealer wants $217 just for the clutch kit.

Im not finding anything on searches. Whats so special about the compressor clutch on these diesels? I replaced the one on my Jeep Grand Cherokee a couple years back for around $50. I can find A/C parts for the gas engines but diesel??? Any leads would be really appreciated.

 

I looked forever and couldn't find one. Turned out I didn't need it the high pressure line had rubbed a hole in it on the battery box?

 

Yu can get a Sanden kit from the company. Or, Try here: http://www.rparts.com/Catalog/Major_...en/sanden.asp.

Smokee, have you used this site before? They dont offer any tech support to find out what clutch fits what compressor application. If you have gotten parts from them before, do you know which part # works on our trucks?

 

Anyone else had to replace a A/C clutch?

 

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. No, I haven't used them. However, there are a number of sites that sell the clutch. For our application, we need the pulley with 10 splines and the keyed shaft. The clutch from a gasser won't work.
I bought a clutch from the dealer since I didn't want to wait for shipment.

You may find that you do not even need to replace the entire clutch, just the contact plate. The little springs break.
