a/c compressor noise

IF you found the correct one it might help someone if you posted the information on the correct part number.

havent found the correct one yet but i havent given up - i think i can get oem from isuzu for $1200 - you read that right twelve hundred friggin dollars - but i would rather just go without a/c or listen to the noise than pay that much just on principle alone - i guess the japanese have to make it from scratch from diamond dust or something - when i do find one i will post part number and where to find

Check this thread it has a discussion and includes some part numbers from various places the Autozone part number is stated to be 2488. IF that the one you purchased an it's wrong then the problem is worse that we thought.

This thread is mostly about the problem of the 01 part number being listed incorrectly in nearly every parts catalog, including Isuzu's.

I noticed no one mentioned calling Merlin from St. Charles. Just an option... OEM parts, forum discount, plus free shipping. Or you can get the part number from him and find a comparable aftermarket...maybe...

Same kind of sound happened to me and it ended up being the harmonic balancer, if the compressor/clutch does not fix it you might look into that next

As far as compressor's and clutch goes, I just found a local a/c compressor shop and they had a rebuilt one for $200

No problem. I purchased the belt from Napa, part #25060802. The belt is specified under a Trooper 3.5L without a/c & the length should be around 80 inches.

Good luck

Got this belt and its too big...

Is there a pulley that replaces the AC unit?

[evillecutter]

just tell them at the auto parts store that you want a belt for a 3.5 with no a/c thats how they looked it up when i got a shorter belt - fit right on - think it was advanced auto

[VXorado]

That's the part # I pulled from the shorter belt and it worked for me. You don't use another pulley, just route the belt above the A/C pulley to the steering pump pulley.

If you're belt is much bigger than 80", you have the wrong belt.
