ok so i searched on here for a/c compressor replacement but couldnt find anything on shavings (since mine isnt leaking fluid) i have a 2002 ram 1500 4.7 xlt 4x4 4dr (not sure if its 2nd or 3rd gen either).....i took it for oil change and mechanic said i need to replace my compressor soon because it was popd out and throwing shaving all over the motor...it blows cold air but i havent used it since he said it could cause the motor to lock up
my question is 1-do I need to replace just the compressor (probably sell it in a few months n upgrade to a newer model) i didnt want to replace the entire system since im going to sell it....also since i dont have the tools to flush it a local shop said theyd charge $150 to replace it and flush the system and replace fluids is that a good price? 2- if i just need a compressor where is a cheap but reliable place to buy it (ebay, autozone?)
