    I removed mine because all the hoses, condensor, evaporator, etc were missing when I got the truck. No intent of replacing it since it doesn't get hot here.

    Is this something worth selling considering I dont know if it even works? Or just junk it? Denso brand.

    At worst, it might be worth its weight in scrap.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    If the system is open to the air pretty much scrap.

    Paper weight or if you have friends give it away.

    Might be a core for a friend.

    Where does in not get Hot? High altitude 7000' plus or the North slope

    I have a perfectly good used compressor for a 3rz that I can’t give away. Cant imagine one of unknown quality would be worth anything either.

    Any alternative uses for this? I've read about onboard air conversion. Any other cool projects it could be used for?

    What ever you want to do go for it.

    They are not really made to compress Air .

    If you want on Board Air get a real compressor.

    The old York 2 cylinder A/C compressors that looked like Briggs & Stratton engines made great on board air compressors and would last a long time, a modern swash plate compressor would probably work for that but I doubt it would last long in that application.

    Hmm. They do work a lot better with the ac system intact, but maybe not worth rebuilding the whole system for
