AC Compressor Eliminator Pulley Reply #15 – July 18, 2010, 09:41:29 PM Quote from: TurboCoupe50;328649So what's wrong with leaving the A/C compressor in place??? Unless you are actually using the A/C, it's just a idler pulley...It makes noise from time to time. I keep spraying it with penetrating lubricant to make it go away, but I feel like its just a matter of time. I don't want to have to buy a new compressor when this one goes, I'm kind of preparing for the future. Quote Selected
AC Compressor Eliminator Pulley Reply #16 – July 18, 2010, 09:49:54 PM The idler bearing can generally be replaced, but last one I bought was around $30...Quote from: Cad-T-Bird 500;328696I just sold the LTD for $1,000 and got all kinds of calls. Maybe I sold it too cheap?TEDUn-huh, if it was good running and clean, you could have probably gotten $2500 or more... Don't be surprised if you see it back on C'list at a higher price...There was a clean, 47K mi, '80 Chevy Malibu 2Dr on the local C'list, for $2500, two weeks later the new owner had it resisted for $4500...

AC Compressor Eliminator Pulley Reply #18 – July 19, 2010, 03:13:03 AM Not to side track this thread too much, but I paid $1000 for a wagon crown vic with no back seats because I couldn't find any decent 4-door anything. I would have easily paid $1000 for that car in that condition if it were out my way. Quote Selected

Just finished the intake gasket last night, when accelerating I hear a squeak, I'm assuming it's the compressor again, I'll spray it with ZEP-45 again, because it seems to quiet it down.Was there any difference between hte 86 thunderbird S.O 5.0 and the 87 Thunderbird S.O. 5.0? The reason I ask Is I found this :http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/DOR3/34163.oap?year=1985&make=Ford&model=F-150&vi=1121588&pt=03861&ppt=C0328 Quote Selected
