01 AC compressor part number?

[Marlin]

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.

Just to throw something else in the mix.... My comp bearing has gone too. Anyone know which one I need for a JDM 1997???

I have managed to get a shorter serpentine so I'm now running without A/C.

Marlin, If I post a pic of mine, would you be able to tell if its the same?

Cheers

Yours should be the same as the 99/00 models. Frequently on ebay for 100 bucks, also can be had at US local autoparts stores If you look at the front of the compressor, the 01 looks like some sort of Celtic knot. The others do not.

Well I guess I have an 01 then???



Seems strange for a 1997 vehicle

So I am I right in thinking I just need to find one with the same front or are there other differences? I read somewhere that two compressors can look the same but the connecting pipes are different?

I guess I need to remove it and take some more pics?!?!

Thanks for your help though - much appreciated

Yes, sorry - I realised my typo and changed it straight away

Yep, thats what mine looks like, well at least my original, and the connecting pipes and mounts are different than the older style (non-jdm)

I just thought of something else while looking at my old one to make sure it looked like yours, I never looked at the 99-00. A guy from a parts recycler told me they were different. I was talking to him about Autozone and Pepboys all having the incorrect part number, and he told me that it was only the 01s that are different. Can someone with a 99-00 see if theirs looks like the pic above? Just look at the front, if it is like this one, then it might be the same, if the mechanic was correct, then it should be completely different, and you can get em on ebay or at any parts store.

Lets find out, the plot thickens...
