Auto Air Conditioning & Heater Repair: Dodge ram truck air conditioner, dodge ram truck, compressor clutch

Question
We have a loud sqeeling when our air is turned on so we are thinking its our clutch we need to replace.  Can I buy a new compressor clutch or will I have to go to a junk yard?

Answer
HI BRANDON,BEFORE YOU GO BUYING PARTS,YOU NEED TO FIND OUT WHERE AND WHY THE BELT SQUEALING NOISE. IT COULD BE A WORN BELT ALSO.REPLACE IF NEEDED AND RECHECK PERFORMANCE.A/C COMPRESSORS PULL ALOT AND WEAR REALLY FAST ON BELTS.RECHECK THE BELT TENSION ALSO.I WOULDN`T RECOMMEND TOUCHING THE A/C YET.

GOOD LUCK,DAVIDT
