AC Compressor

There warrenty is 2 years if anyone is wondering
also any opinions on running 134 instead of R12 threw this compressor?
i know we run 134 threw all of our old tractors, but dont know how much it affects these compressors

Won't hurt a thing . You use 10% less of it in a R12 system

Well i got my new compressor working today, but the clutch engages when you turn the key on Anyone know why this happens?
Also the clutch wouldnt engage at all until we took the ground wire at the plug, cut it, and then ran the ground to the fender. Is there something im not seeing or didnt replace that should have been? -and also the expansion valve sensor wires were on the wrong side so i can not get the original plug put back into it, so i just put a jumper wire into the socket-(incase that matters)

[ellis93]

I had the same problem with my exp valve. I'll snap a pic of how I worked it out in the AM. You might be messing up your system with the new found ground.

[Hansen01]

Ok, Thanks, i was just gonna sauder them on there or however you spell it
really the ground? it would not kick on without it, any opinions on that?

[ellis93]

Not really. It very needed,kills the clutch if pressure is to high. If its not there then the comp will build pressure till it starts popping lines

[Hansen01]

yea, i know, it was jus a do this and charge it kinda deal then sauder them on when i got home
no need for that jus yet tho with the compressor like it is,
gonna have to do some more searchin on y it wont turn on when the groud is hooked up like factory though

[ellis93]

Apparently mine has spade terminals.



IDK about the other thing you have goin

[Hansen01]

Guess i could bend em like that, never even really crossed my mind
Thanks Eliis

Ok, so for the time being my clutch is now wired to a switch because other wise its always engaged. Thinkin maybe that the little black box deal with the copper wire on it up by the expansion valve may be bad. Im thinkin that that is the thermistat del that turns the clutch on and off

Does anyone have any experience with global parts distributors? I found this and its the best price ive seen.

[ellis93]

I do but I buy thru another distributor,global is on the boxes. Only reason I dont buy straight from them is time constraints,nobody will wait for UPS delivery

[PToombs]

Wow, that's cheap! I was looking for one for my '97 and it was $300 minimum just for the compressor.

[Hansen01]

FYI The compressors are the same at napa and OReileys,wouldnt recomend either
