MY 1996 f350 4x4 460 5 spd needs a new A/C compressor. I was hoping someone (numbers) might be able to help me find a new replacement of good quality, like a motocraft maybe. I don't have to have a motocraft, but a good pump with a new clutch is a requirement. Orielly, Napa, and autozone all have their line which I usually have terrible luck with. Thanks.

 

ehhhh its really tough to say who has new oem parts. just cuz it has a motorcraft badge doesnt mean it was rebuilt to motorcraft standards.

the dealer still sells them, but its gonna be pricey.

junkyard is always a good option. find a decent truck that still has pressure in the system, cut the belt make sure its not seized, and you should get some good life out of a jy pump. getting a new dryer is always a good thing after atmosphere is introduced, and the current one is 20 years old. those can be pretty much any brand, and I say that with a bit of reluctance.

 

That is the thing, Last spring I did a drier, orifice tube, leak test, new oil, and it ran awesome for almost a year, now the pump went!!

 

yea it kinda sucks when that's the story line. browse the jy

 

The reman I got from O'reilly's was actually a motorcraft that had been rebuilt. 3 years, still going strong.

 

Rock auto advertises new motocraft units for sale. I might go for one of those.

 

That is your best bet. I stay away from junkyard compressors. Too much at stake to have one come apart.

 

I was hoping numberdummy might chime in and find one. He is sure an amazing resource.
