    The replacement I ordered for mine (99 Park Avenue) also did not come with a stud or bolt. However, I was able to thread the nut onto the stud then use one of the nuts from the front of the bracket as a jam nut and screw the stud out of the old compressor to thread into the new one. Worked like a charm.

    I bought the same compressor . What are the chances the clutch is bad out the box. It won’t engage.

    • @CaptainThirdGen
      @CaptainThirdGen  Рік тому +1

      usually they wont engage at first
      you need to jump the ac clutch relay so you can load refrigerant in it. Once full it will work like normal
      the cars have low pressure sensors that prevent the clutch from kicking on when refrigerant is too low (like it is after a compressor swap)

      @@CaptainThirdGen thanks for the reply. I took it to a shop after replacing the compressor and he said the clutch was bad but it’s brand new. One more question if he couldn’t get the clutch to engage, then do you think there is Freon in it? This is my second time paying to have a vacuum and recharge and still no ac

      but if the clutch is not engaging, the sysyem is never going to charge. Clutch needs to be engaged with engine on to charge system

      this compressor was prefilled out of the box. If yours is not, id add around 2-3oz or so and see how that works. If its still noisey, add pag oil until its quiet
