    Anyone have this info? Looks like I have to do the whole compressor cause no one has just the clutch so that time is really what I need.

    That's RnR comp? Plus evac and recharge? Thanks. Is this from a link or do you have a book?

    it would probably take me 5 hours to do it all. :D replacing the compressor usually doesn't take too long, but I like to take my time and let it sit a while under vacuum before I charge it.

    This is how I guess i'll charge for it.
    2 hrs = $90
    3 cans good quality brand freon = $60
    Vacuum $10hr. minimum 2 = $20...
    Ten years or ten miles warranty :rofl2:


    It's for my sister. :p

    So, I guess I can expect another year out of my 04 Ram A/C?

    Good question :rant: Now that I brought up my sisters AC situation, it seems that mine was acting up yesterday. Going down the freeway, it felt like the cold air was fading in and out. Also had that slight humid feel on the steering wheel knuckles by the vent. 3rd was a sorta defrosting smell. :cussing:
    Also experiencing idle surges. That could be the spark plugs, maybe. I got to thinking about them. They are platnum with around 110k miles. Engine light has been on for about three years. I cycle the key 3 times and I see a code 455 displayes then it says done. Gotta check into that I guess...
