The news today from the mechanic is.... the silverado needs a new a/c compressor. After about 30 minutes of use the clutch on the front of it fails. So after 239,500 miles the a/c compressor fails??? whats up with that?

That will make 3 a/c compressors - one on each of 3 cars this year. Bleh

I guess the good side of this story is that the location, removal and installation is nearly identical to the Suburban I just did.

I'd never think an A/C compressor would wear out in Texas since you hardly ever need to use it:D

I'm very tempted to just replace the clutch BUT sure as I do the compressor will fail.. so I'm doing both. I have to go pick up the truck tomorrow so I can determine the brand and order parts.

Guess I'll just add it to the tie rods, pittman arm, and idler arm for the chrysler. dang it.
