After reading a few A/C postings here recently, I have a question of my own.
While I do not know, I am fairly certain that my York A/C compressor on my J10 project is bad.
It has been open to the elements (no hoses connected) for a while.
My simple question to the group, which is the better compressor pump? York or Sanden?
The reason for my question is that "if" my York is bad and I need to replace it, then I would want to go back with a York or a Sanden?
It's my understanding that the compressor mount is the same.
The only difference are the adapters on the end of the hoses to the compressor pump.
It makes sense to go back with what my rig came equipped with.
However, if I am spending $$$ and the Sanden is the better compressor, then why would stick with the York?
Also, the adapters maybe a non issue, as the hoses look like as if they should be replaced.
If this is the cause, then I would have new hoses built with the correct connectors from the Sanden compressor.
Now, I fully understand that only way I will know what is good and what is bad is by taking to a competent automotive A/C Shop.
By asking this question now and gathering information, I will be prepared when the A/C Shop says,
"Mr. Smith, in addition to all tat is wrong with the A/C System on this truck, your compressor needs to be replaced."
I would like to be ready and reply, "Here, install this good working compressor."
