AC compressor bad 06 I5

[rascole]

Anyone else replace their AC compressor on an I5 lately? Mine just stopped working. Switched fuse and relays and clutch will not engage. Taking off skid plate tomorrow to check for power at the connector. Looks like a pain to replace the compressor, better to remove from top or bottom?

I do lots of a/c work here. I can do it when I install your D44. Get the genuine GM one from Rock auto.

Yes, and Reloader just swapped mine out from the bottom since we had the steering rack out at that time. We also did the alternator as it's a pain to get to on the I5 but easier with the a/c out of the way, and I was running the original alternator.

Make sure you talk to him about parts as I think you'll want to do condensor and expansion valve at that time as well.
