A/C compressor went out,cannot ID compressor

[hpi_jeep]

first off gmc 2500 (not HD but i figure you HD guys are running more 6.0's than the 1/2 ton forum) air compressor will try locking up causing belt to squeel and entire truck shakes, i have it narrowed down to compressor cause it will not do it unless i have the air on.

 

 

i have went to 2 different shops and they say my truck can have 2 different compressors and they didnt know how to tell what i had or what they could get.

 

so how do i tell wich one mine has?

 

were is the cheapest place to get it? local dealer wants $730 for either one, they just dont know what one

That's interesting... seems to me if you provide them with the VIN they should be able to tell you which one you have.

 

Can you read any numbers off the existing compressor?

i gave them the vin i guess it didnt do any good.

 

i havent looked for numbers, opened the hood the other day on my lunch break to check it out and seen the compressor was on the bottom and i was in a gravel lot, so i didnt check any further.

 

i was hoping it was year dependent or something that you guys might have known that the dealer guy didnt.

yeap im a lazy bum
