    AC Compressor Dead?

    Dodged a bullet....compressor is fine. Replaced the pulley (noticed the old one was also warped a bit), clutch plate/shim and nice cold air coming out of the vents. That clutch sure spins a lot more freely when it's not matted against the pulley. LOL... Ordered a new belt though. Cleaned...

    AC Compressor Dead?

    Of course the clutch plate doesn't come with shims. I installed the old pulley and tried both the new and old clutch plate with the one old shim and there's zero clearance. The clutch plate's been riding on that pulley for awhile. Just ordered a new set of shims which will be here on Thursday...

    AC Compressor Dead?

    All great inputs. If I have to change out the compressor I'll do everything at once. As mentioned, no use to half ass it. The clutch plate was delivered today. Need to see if it came with spacers when I get home. I don't think it does. The old one could work, I'll need to measure the...

    AC Compressor Dead?

    Agreed. I bought a new pulley yesterday. It will be here Thursday. I'm running an 8 rib set up so pieced the clutch plate and pulley together. The coil seems fine. Guess we'll see how it runs. May have to change out the compressor, hopefully not.

    AC Compressor Dead?

    Will these 6 divets keep me from removing this bearing? I've whacked it a few times and hasn't budged. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    AC Compressor Dead?

    Yeah, you know I'm not going to let anyone touch this car. I was looking around to rent, but this will work if needed. I wouldn't ask anyone to work in this oven. If needed I'll reach out to borrow them. Much appreciated as always. And thanks to the rest of you as well...good information to...

    AC Compressor Dead?

    I have an 06, so the part numbers are a bit different. I think I need to take the hub/pulley/clutch apart first to see what happened. Could be the clutch broke as well and if so, I'd just get the entire assembly, i.e., CL0521C. I have an 8 rib pulley, so that's the only part I would not need...

    AC Compressor Dead?

    Is it possible that it's only the clutch hub that needs to be replaced? https://tinyurl.com/Clutch-Hub Or maybe the entire clutch? https://tinyurl.com/Clutchassembly

    AC Compressor Dead?

    What's that seal in the front that blew grease everywhere? The compressor is not seized. The system did start blowing cool (not cold) air again after it happened. Could I replace the compressor and receiver drier myself and then take it in to shop to check for leaks, vacuum the system and...

    AC Compressor Dead?

    Why do ACs always take a shit during the summer? LOL I don't know anything about compressors. Is this one dead? Sure made a mess.

    Secondary radiator fan switch

    I like that. I have the Rad Fan switch from the relay on the opposite side. I just got a new harness from AFCO for my H/E w/ dual fans (another story). I've always wanted to run the fans when I wanted to...i.e., not cruising down the freeway. I have a switch under the hood for the H/E pump...

    Secondary radiator fan switch

    You can run a wire from the fan relay to a grounded switch in the cabin. I had it wired like this for years with no issues. https://www.s197forum.com/threads/jumper-for-high-speed-fan.17424/

    Three year correction...that's supposed to say steering "rack" not "shaft". Oops....

    cool tool

    Thanks for the link. Found it on Amazon as well along with this caliper press tool. No more using C clamp. https://www.amazon.com/FIVE-BANANAS-Caliper-Ratcheting-Spreader-dp-B091TNB1WH/dp/B091TNB1WH/ref=dp_ob_title_auto?th=1

    Do I need the Stock tune?

    Yes I did. I'm making this too complicated...I don't even need it until I get a new tune. Just figured I'd put the 2011 tune in it, but not possible, so no big deal. Now I'm tempted to get Lito to write me an E85 tune, but I know I'm going to switch s/c in the next year, so it'd be kind of a...

    Do I need the Stock tune?

    Interesting...so if the 2011 tune uploads to the X4 as the stock tune, then problem solved. Minus not having the stock tune anymore...but as the thread was started, I shouldn't need the stock tune again...car will never require it. But...is the X4 process to upload the stock tune (in my case...

    Do I need the Stock tune?

    So this is a no-go. JDM said the file is too old and they'd have to write a brand new tune....not paying for the same tune twice. I'll just wait until I need a new tune and use the new device then.

    Do I need the Stock tune?

    You'd think. I emailed them...we'll see what they say.

    Do I need the Stock tune?

    Sooo, tune from JDM in 2011...not seeing them producing a new copy of it. Guess I can email them and ask. I'll still talk to SCT support, but what you guys are saying makes sense. **Edit: Yep, SCT confirmed what you guys are saying. Going to email JDM. If they won't update it, I'll just...

    Do I need the Stock tune?

    Oh for fucks sake. The instructions don't get into all that. They state you can upload .cef files into the new device. Waiting for a call back from SCT support.

    Tremec 3650 fluid

    17+ years later and the debate continues. Just changed the tranny oil this past weekend and forgot what a mess this was with the fluids. Found a receipt from years ago showing I put Royal Purple in there. Forgot all about that and had no issues with the tranny all these years. This time I...

    Do I need the Stock tune?

    Sooo, I'll be calling SCT support tomorrow unless someone knows what I'm doing wrong. The Device Updater software is up to date but I can't move a custom tune from the PC to the X4. It allows me to find it through "Browse", I select it and it doesn't show up under "Available Tunes". I hope...

    Do I need the Stock tune?

    Thanks...pretty simple to re-load the stock tune, just didn't know if it was necessary. Worth it to avoid any headaches.
