A/C clutch plate eaten by pully?

Best practice, and the drier is not usually expensive (usually about 20-30$ depending on type) but if its broken open for a very short period (an hr or so) and properly vacuumed, its not that critical. Better when humidity is low, more necessary the more humid it is

 

Sometimes it’s worth it to take to a Dealership.

I agree with you here. That's why we have shops and mechanics. With mass tools and training.

 

Changing the parts probably isn't difficult.

But you could probably take it to a midas or whatever and have it charged.

They do have machines that will evactuate and throw in the desired weight amount without the truck even running. Just like the dealer has. And it might even be cheaper. Maybe.

But if a problem exists in the system then you'd need some help from a dealer or shop.

 

That sucks. I was considering moving to a Sanden style when my York dies. Looks like I need to give that idea a second thought.

 

When the clutch fails on a Sanden, the compressor usually isn't far behind. A real Sanden will last for years though.

 

My York is over 5 years old. Installed myself and has been overcharged many times. Still doing great.

 

I think it will be fine. Not like the crank exploded. This should be okay, I know everything is being done correctly. Didn't have to be towed in. BIG+ there. Good Day.

 

DOOOO EEEEEET, sooooo much nicer, and the built in releif valve is nice, no exploding the top of the york all over the engine compartment once a year, clutch may still go, but price for the whole unit is better and easier to swap out the whole unit. Plus much quieter.
