01 AC compressor part number?

[Marlin]

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

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...36_12326_6207_

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...

I need to figure this out. If I order one from Isuzu will the compressor come with the Clutch already on there?

My A/C is now only coming on after I get the engine warm, weird huh? Is the fan somehow getting stuck/going out?

For 800 bucks, I would think it comes complete, but when I tried before, they had the same part number listed for the 01 as the 99. Which I know is incorrect.

FYI, mine looks just like that.

Ok, so Isuzu has the part incorrect or Autozone had the part incorrect? You are saying if we order a new compressor from Isuzu for our year number VX they will ship us a wrong part? How are you sure of this? So Autozone, etc, AND Isuzu has this part listed incorrectly?

FYI, mine looks just like that.

So looks like we ALL have the same clutch + compressor, all the models from the 97-01, so who can get us this part? What does Merlin say about this?
