This video saved me $1000.00 dollars. I was told by a shop that my compressor was bad and that the system wouldn't take a charge. I crawled underneath and discovered the AC belt missing completely. I installed the AC belt and a New drive belt. I vacuumed the system and charged it. AC is cold as ice again. Thanks for all the videos.

@markdrake2715 2 жыл бұрын

Great video. I honestly did not know there was a separate drive belt for the ac on my 2003 until I saw it hanging down, broken. I guess that explains the noise I was hearing before it snapped. I thought it was a bad pulley.

The serpentine belt tensioner should automatically apply enough pressure to it so that it doesn't squeal. Over time the tensioners can loose some of their tention and need to be replaced. Hope this helps you out.

i used the video as a guide and what tools I needed but I didn't need to remove intake or skid plate like recommended.

@mikeaa000 I have having the same problem. From what I've been able to find, it's most likely the AC clutch that is locked. If you call a dealership, chances are they won't replace just the AC clutch, but rather the entire compressor - my dealership quoted my 900-1500 bucks. At that rate it would behoove me to just buy a new vehicle (2000 silverado - 188K). But I was able to find a place that will replace the AC clutch as they have the required "special" tools, going to call them as well.

what about the belt squeal? i tried putting another belt on 1/2" smaller but it wouldn't go even with tensioner loosened all the way. the first tensioner i put on to replace the factory tensioner broke so this is the 3rd tensioner on it. the slipping only happens while the compressor is engaged and it has a new dayco belt and tensioner, i've tried belt conditioner and even cleaned the pulleys with paint thinner to ensure there's no build up on it. would you say i need to replace the a/c clutch?
