Hey,I didn't take anything wrong. I was just unsure which way to go.You said a pulley kit, you mean the bypass pulley ? If so I looked and can't find one for this truck.Are you saying the compressor is going bad but hasn't failed yet ? And i'll be able to buy some time with the bearing...

im getting conflicting views. Here you guys are saying its done but another mechanic told me its fine so that's why im unsure which was to go. He said something about when I get resistance its from the oil. That its a diagnol pump or something like that.I don't wanna waste 30 on the bearing...

Wouldn't the shaft turn freely then when it came in contact with the oil be a little harder to turn ? I mean if it was seized wouldn't it not turn at all ?I don't wanna spend a few hundred if its only a $30 pulley bearing.Don't wanna sound like a asshole to question you guys but I don't...

Yea but im confused cause you said "youre compressor bound". I cant spin it by hand but I did spin it with the ratchet using the bolt for the clutch plate cover or whatever you call the front plate. Anyway it spins freely and then resistance.So is it bad or is that normal ?Sorry to be...

I'm confused, am I not supposed to feel any resistance at all? Thanks

Is the shaft supposed to spin freely the whole time ?

I just went out and put the bolt in that I took out from the pulley. Wrenched it down and the shaft spun freely a few turns, then tightened up a little, then spun freely, then a little tight again, then freely. So im not sure if that's normal or what ?Thanks

Hey Blacksnpaon,Thanks for the reply.I tried to turn the compressor shaft by hand but I couldn't. Would I be able to spin it by hand or would I need to put a wrench on it ?Thanks

Hello,This is my first post to the forum. I have a AC compressor issue. My serp. belt broke the other day. I looked and the tensioner pulley was broken. Replaced the tensioner and everything was fine. I heard a rattling noise by the AC compressor, but when I turned on the ac the noise went...
