AC compressor help Were and what type to buy

2010 Tacoma 6cy Looking what a good brand and where to buy,Love any help. Thx Pat

 

Most all replacement compressors require certain parts to be replaced to meet warranty requirements--this is the notice of same from RockAuto's site:


Here are the various "kits" offered by them--the first one listed, for $253.79 includes a new condensor and has a 12 month warranty--you might need a new drier too...

 

Thanks how is GPD brand, is that your recommendation and do I need to change all of the parts stated? Thx Pat

 

It's what I would buyfor a 7-year-old truck. As to the parts, only if you want to have a warranty on the compressor.

Are you sure the compressor is shot? Usually unless they are run "dry" for some extended period they're OK, a much more common failure is the bearing in the drive/clutch pulley...

 

I added the dye to the system and found the the dye all around the compressor. So it time for a new one. Pat

 

Are you sure it was not just a leaking connection on either the suction or pressure lines--or both? That would also be a more common failure...

 

buy the kit , new compressor, drier, oriface tube. be sure to evacuate the system and have the proper amount of oil in the compressor.......

 

Thank for you help, Quick question how long does it take to change all of this, then I will take to a shope to charge the system. Pat
