in Heating, Ventilation and
Air Conditioning.
- Disconnect the electrical
connector (1) from the coil.
- Remove the drive belt. Refer to
Drive Belt Replacement
in Engine Mechanical-5.0L, 5.7L.
- Disconnect the electrical
connector (2) from the A/C compressor high pressure cutoff switch.
- Remove the compressor
and condenser hose bolt (3) from the compressor.

- When replacing the oil in the compressor check for contamination
or metal particles in the oil.
If contamination is found replace the orifice.
- Replace the orifice. Refer to
Expansion (Orifice) Tube Replacement
.
Installation Procedure
Important: The compressor is shipped without oil.
- Follow the instruction sheets shipped with the air compressor, if not
available, do the following:
Add oil to the air compressor.
1.1. | Prior to installing the replacement compressor, drain the refrigerant
oil from the removed compressor into a clean, calibrated measuring container. |
1.2. | Record the amount of oil removed from the old compressor. |
1.3. | If the amount of oil drained from the old compressor is less then
or equal to 60 ml (2 fl oz) add 60 ml (2 fl oz)
of new clean oil to the new compressor. |
1.4. | If the amount of oil drained from the old compressor is greater
then 60 ml (2 fl oz) add the same amount of new clean
oil to the new compressor. |
- Install the compressor to the vehicle.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Install the compressor
bolts (4).
Tighten
Tighten the compressor bolts to 50 N·m (37 lb ft).

to
Compressor Sealing Washers Replacement
.
- Install the compressor and condenser hose bolt (3) to the
compressor.
Tighten
The compressor and condenser hose bolt (3) to the compressor
to 48 N·m (35 lb ft).
- Connect the electrical
connector (2) to the A/C compressor high pressure cutoff switch.
- Install the drive belt. Refer to
Drive Belt Replacement
in Engine Mechanical-6.5L.
- Connect the electrical
connectors (1) to the coil.
- Evacuate and recharge the refrigerant system. Refer to
Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging
in Heating,
Ventilation and Air Conditioning.
- Ensure that no leaks exist in the system. Refer to
Leak Testing
.
