So my AC went out last week. It sat until I could get it fixed.<\/p>\n

My compressor for whatever reason blew out its seals internally. I guess it’s the equal to piston rings. I can freely turn the pulley by hand.<\/p>\n

The shitty news is that the compressor had a 2 year warranty…. and its now 2 years and 2 month from when I bought it. :-\\<\/p>\n

Its a Delphi Compressor, which I thought would be better than the crappy parts house brands, but apparently not.<\/p>\n

So, I found an ACDELCO for pretty cheap on amazon, $160 vs $300 from most. I thought it was a good deal anyway.<\/p>\n

Since I had to break the system open I had to get everything else too, accumulator, orifice tube, etc.<\/p>\n

FYI the accumulator if you get it from Oreilly’s or any other parts house, needs to have the check valve built in. For whatever reason the one they stock doesn’t which is a WTF moment for me. I had them order the correct one. Nobody in town had one.<\/p>\n

I also went to harbor freight to get a set of gauges and a nice Pneumatic vacuum pump for 20 bucks. It pulls a strong vacuum in seconds. You could probably operate this on a medium size air bomb.<\/p>\n

Here is all the junk I had to get.<\/p>\n

For those of you who say just delete the AC. You don’t have a clue what it’s like in the south. You can have a heat stroke at midnight at 72 deg 99% humidity without a fan. I was sweating like a MoFo. Humidity kills!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve pulled a nice vacuum and it held there for several minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Below is the new pressure and we have cold air. We will see if the heat today is any match for this new system.<\/p>\n
