i have a 06 dakota and in the morning running the ac on the lowest setting in make a knocking/clicking noise, but in the afternoon it doesnt make this noise could it be the same thing or do you know what i can do to stop the noise?
Michael, the failed part on your old compressor was the AC clutch. Looks like the bearings seized on it. You could have replaced just the clutch, or clutch bearing, without releasing the coolant. You'd have unbolted the compressor, leaving the lines attached, then sit it on something higher. To pull the clutch off, you'd need some snap ring pliers and a pulley puller. I have the same truck and am about to replace mine as it's chirping. Got one that spins nice and quiet from the junkyard for 10 bucks.
your Cutchogue is suppose to cut in and cut out once your lines get up to psi
