A/C compressor died. refurb is $260. That's too much money for me right now.
I was hoping there was a late model car or truck with a compatible compressor. Any suggestions?

There may be, go to a good parts department and have them cross the part number to another application. The people at Advance auto or auto zone may not be able to do this. I would go to a ford dealer and ask them to cross it for you. If they can't then an A/C shop should be able to help you.

There are aftermarket companies that make kits for the Hot Rod people, they may have info for you as well.

Thanks man. That's good info. I was hoping there would be a later model could use. I guess i will buy Hoss_hanna's Until I can afford a new one.
Hoss, you have a PM
 






Have you tried fleaBay ?...I bought a new compressor from BlendAir on ebay for $122 shipped last year.

There are several companies that make new compressors in & around Irving, TX. The new compressors are way cheaper than the "rebuilt" ones from AutoZone & O'Reillys.

J...always bargain shopping.
 






just got a reman for a 92 on ebay for $100 w/ shipping. Looked like a new clutch, clean and works perfectly. Kinda had to sort out ebay, plenty of used there kinda masquerading as reman or new....

You can by-pass a seized A/C compressor on the 1994 Ford Explorer XLT with an 82" serpentine drive belt or Bando#6PK2070.
