Default Well that didn’t last long

My new ac compressor bit the bullet already! But not the way you would assume, the pulley has managed to loosen itself, now it’s screaming and throwing silver dust everywhere, seriously rubbing on one of the bolts under the pulley, clutch and operation still work fine, now however here’s the kicker, it’s the upgraded one from rockauto, it’s for the Chevy btw not a jag piece I cannot return it!!!
warranty's only good if you buy A drier and expansion valve when purchasing compressor, I bought the drier, but not expansion valve as it wouldn’t have fit! So I’m screwed! Just ordered another one from amazon this time, with no return issues if something goes wrong with this one!!!
Other than that, the lt1 is running strong and has changed the whole car

you could have ordered the new/revised Harrison compressor from Rock Browning at www.retroair.com

he stands by his merchandise and does not force you to buy other items. That is why I don't do business with rock auto.

Jose:



Darren's LT1 is much different than older GM's that featured the same harrisson that Jaguar used, Not even close to fit.

Buried down low, RF of the engine... Sure hope mine is OK. I never charged it..
