I've been working all night trying to figure out why my AC all of a sudden quit on me. After checking everything I possibly could think of I had come to the conclusion that it was either the clutch not engaging or the compressor had seized up. And then I saw it. The clutch plate had some how worked its way loose and was just laying in the engine bay. All I could find is the outer plate. I put the plate back into the ac clutch and started the truck up and the ac is working again.

Can anyone tell me what I'm still missing? I figure I missing at least a retaining bolt. But if that's all then I can replace that tomorrow, too late now. Wondering if there are any shims, washers, or other pieces that I may actually need to pick up.

 

Number 4 shims, in the image below sets the air gap.

Thanks, turns out those shims were still in the plate. A simple bolt fixed it all.
