Looking for a new ac compressor
My ac compressor locked up on me last week or so. I was going to wait till next year to replace it but the lack of defrost capability is really putting a damper on my driving. Where's the best place to get a new or rebuilt unit without payong an arm and a leg?

If it's out of gas you could take out the orifice to see if there are metal shavings on it. If so........ compressor self destructed.
