Alright will do! Thanks a lot.

 

I still have the rattling noise in my engine compartment I think it may be coming from the AC compressor, AC works great but when I had everything broke apart and inspected all the pulleys I would give it a good turn and would here some grinding coming from it, any chance that's where the noise could be coming from? if so how labor intensive is it to change. I'm a firefighter don't have a lot of free time. thanks for your help!

 

Ever hear of a mechanics stethoscope?

Mechanic's Stethoscope

start vehicle and touch "non moving parts" find where the noise is the LOUDEST... there's your problem... GL

 

I'm having a noise issue also which I think is the water pump.....Its at the dealer now and is their problem I'm still under the NYS 60 day used car warranty...

 

I used a stethoscope, the noise is definitely the AC compressor my question is; can I buy just the AC clutch or do I have to buy the whole compressor? Thanks for all the help!

 

Looks like you can get the clutch seperate if I'm understanding this correctly..

 

CLUTCH KIT. AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) Compressor Clutch. A/C COMPRESSOR ASM. # 15268655, 15-40042, 1540042

 

Normally you can buy the clutch only. Do some research though many times you can find the compressor with it for 40-50 bucks more. Then u have the choice to use the clutch only now and still have the compressor for when it goes...Or do it all at once your choice..If the the clutch is 50% or less the cost of a complete unit, just do the clutch id say, and don't open up the a/c system unless you have the right tools...most of us don't since laws and gases have changes..recovery unit, vacumn, gauges etc..


Good luck..Wish I would have saw this post before tonight, may have helped more..
