AC compressor died so I decided to replace it. I bought a kit on Amazon for 168.00 which include compressor, dryer, seals, orifice and oil. I had to buy special tools to remove fan from waterpump. I finally finished the job and AC works good now. Removing and replacing the AC compressor on this truck is a pain.
