I have gone through a few AC compressors on my truck. It is the 2006-up cheaply made Taiwan compressor. I am thinking of putting a 1996-2005 Sanden in the truck. Anyone else done it? I think all I need is the compressor and the hose.
Whenever I see repeat compressor failures, it’s always because the system was not flushed properly or thoroughly and/or the filter drier was not replaced. I’ll easily go through a gallon of refrigerant flush. That, and a truckload of compressed air. I’m sure people would think that’s excessive, but every multiple compressor failure job I’ve repaired has never failed again.
