Truck AC compressor
The Tacos compressor is shot and Toyota want $875 for a new one. There has got to be a less expensive alternative. Any tips?
TIA

It's most likely a common brand, like a Nippondenso or something. you should be able to get a # off it and get a replacement from a parts store or online.

Bought one from advance this past summer, It was closer to 300. It leaked like a sieve out of the shaft seal. They replaced it for free, and it has been going strong since. Guaranteed for 3 years, as long as you don't mind replacing it a few times.

You could also have the compressor rebuilt. There has to be a competent rebuilder in Jersey.

At least it is a convenient time of year to have the AC system broken.

Most anybody in the aftermarket should have it. If you have a local CarQuest, they might be able to get an OE Nippondenso compressor for you through World Pac for a third, to half what Toyota is asking.

I sell ac parts, but I need a little more info on the Taco. If it's locked up, you're probably going to need a new condenser if the original is parallel flow.
Let me know

Don't feel bad, I have to replace the compressor on the MB, it's one of the variable displacement ones. It is gonna leave a mark

It might just be the electronic control valve, Rick. Either way aftermarket 7SEU16C or 17's are not much more than $300. They rarely lock up.

How about something like a Sanden ? Reliable and decent price.
