So let's talk about dealer A/C for a moment


Recommended Posts

I know I am a bit late to the party here, but I will add this.

My truck came with dealer installed a/c, and used the dual belts around the alt, a/c, and water pump. This system would eat belts up in just a couple years of regular a/c usage, and if the a/c was not used much the belts would last MUCH longer.

I figure it was due to the York compressor pulley having wider grooves than the other 3 pulleys. The belts simply rode too deep in that a/c pulley, and when it was seeing regular use the extra friction would wear the belts enough that they simply lost grip in the a/c pulley.

BTW, finding a matched pair of v-belts is getting much harder to do as the years go by..

Gentlemen,

Just to put a bug in your ear, I'm looking for a set of the passenger side dash vents from a dealer installed AC system if you happen to come across any.
