Air Conditioner Clutch Noise

[ajtbussen]

The air conditioner compressor clutch on my 1990 rr is noisy at warm up when I start the truck when cold. Can you change the bearings on the clutch and if you can what is the bearing number?

i never changed the bearings. I just throw a good used one on. In the meantime I suggest you remove the AC belt. I've seen compressor pulley seize up and prevent the water pump from spinning, in turn overheating the engine and warping the heads. Why my customers didnt hear the belt squealing or notice the engine overheating I dont know.

I'd suggest replacing the whole compressor.
