01 AC compressor part number?

[TheGanzman]

Are we pretty sure that this is the same compressor for '00 AND '01? I've got a chance to buy one off an '00 as a "spare", but want to make sure that it's the same. Marlin or anyone, can I get an Isuzu P/N? Thanks in advance!

The isuzu part number is incorrect. I personally do not believe it is the same, as the pics for the 00 on ebay look like the old GM compressor, which is what I got from autozone. You would have to see a pic of the pulley face. If it has a series of clips that look like some sort of keltic design, thats the one on the 01, if its just plain, its the old style.

I am checking into another rumor, that the 01 trooper has the same compressor. That is what a junk yard told me, I will know thursday for sure when I get mine out and I compare side by side.

Here is the good news. The 01 trooper AC fits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It looks different, the counter weight on the clutch is different, but it works perfect. This is the first time I have heard my Vx run without that howling sound. It purrrrrrrrs. So that should save some money and worries out there for everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marlin; During your recent compressor marathon did it appear that the '00 and the '01 are the same? My 2000 is noisy also so I will be following your footsteps. Just curios, did you have a shop charge the system after you did the installation or did you do the charging?

The 2000 and 2001 are NOT the same. The 01 trooper is the same. I checked with autozone, they list a trooper compressor at 219, but the pic looks like the old GM compressor, which is not right. The same problem they have with the Vx. I suppose you could order one and see, you have nothing to lose except time.

Ok so will this work for the A/C Clutch?:

They list the same A/C clutch for the 99-01 VX and the 01 Trooper.

Did you ever send off your spare to have it rebuilt how much did that cost you?

I thought changing out my P/S pump would help a little with the noise, but not at all. Could I try just changing out the A/C Clutch? Would that help?

I would really like to just replace the A/C clutch, because I have never experienced a more consistant better working A/C than mine, but I want to make sure the one at AutoZone will work. Thanks

That clutch will not work!!! It doesn't look anything like ours(01 VX), your best bet would be to take it to a local AC shop and see what they think. I know the 01 VX compressor is similar to the 02 trooper (what mine came out of). It fits, just barely. I changed my power steering pump thinking the same thing, but it didn't.
