A/C compressor failure today
 

My dad's A/C compressor seized today while he was driving (on the '83) :eek: Brief belt squeal then some smoke from the clutch burning away, it still engages the clutch (sorta) but it just makes a rubbing sound and you can see that the compressor is not rotating. So now both SD's need an A/C makeover... :o Looks like we'll need to order two of all those parts, and make a double-appointment with whunter......It is so Hot/Humid around here...current: 87 degrees, 80% humidity.... :eek: The van's A/C has been recharged and works very very well, thankfully. But my car still has none at all.... :(

pawosd, you should have made it to the last G2G. whunter wasn't there but I really want to meet him. Does he have a 609 and the tools to work on such systems? Don't worry whunter if you're reading this, my A/C works great in the SDL ;) Seriously though, you should try to make next month's G2G. How far are you from Troy? I'll try to make the next one as well though I drove 6 hours total for 2 hours of MB talk, it was worth it though.

Thanks
David

Don't come to Texas if you think that's bad. :)

I don't drive Klaus during the day as the temps with humidity is so extreme, I'm out to pick up some more parts currently.

This past winter I had to try to get my o'l beast running when it was -10 F out ;) I vastly prefer the high heat to the extreme cold....

I'm not as bothered by the heat as most people I know, except my uncle...he bought a car brand new without a/c (his 1996 cavalier).....I've driven my A/C-less car in as high as 95 deg's.....and I lived. :D I'd just like to make the A/C work, more comfortable.... :D
