I told him I didn't need it that much (Wisconsin) and asked if it was not needed and he stated there is an "elimination kit" for some vehicles?? any comments??

You would have to check your local parts store to determine if they do. It consists of an idler pulley that mounts where the compressor would normally be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

After spending a small fortune, here's my story. A/C CLUTCH worn out causing poor performance of idler pulley. Fix A/C clutch by putting new one on old compressor. Make sure it is done correctly and spaced/gapped correctly so serpentine belt stays true. If you do this yourself do not mess up on gapping/spacing of idler pulley when put back. Professional Mechanic/shop will take well under 1 hour to complete start to finish. That's part (get yourself it's cheaper) plus maximum of 1 hour labor. Or else they're thieves.

Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 5, 2009, 9:12 PM Post #5 of 5 (3345 views) Re: Dodge Air Conditioner Compressor Sign In That's not always the answer. Many clutches fail due to pressure problems or internal compressor problems. When the clutch slips, it causes extreme excessive heat which normally takes out the front compressor seal cause total compressor replacement in the near future. In general, replacing clutches is not a good idea and can end up being money wasted in the end. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
