1997 Rodeo Air Compressor Question
I have a 97 Rodeo, 3.2, with 152,000 miles. It ticks a little but overwise it is in good shape. The compressor is squeals loudly and then releases and repeats again once the temp gets down to 78 degrees. I called PepBoys and they gave me an estimate of $1286 to change the compressor, dryer/receiver, expansion valve and recharge it. I hate to sink this much into it unless I have to. Since I am confident that it is the compressor would it be completely stupid to just change it out and recharge the system? I can get a compressor from O'Reilly for $328.

Re: 1997 Rodeo Air Compressor Question
If you're sure its the comrpessor, take it to someone to have the refrigerant recovered. Then you can replace the compressor and filter/dryer yourself. Then go back and have them pull a vacuum on the system and recharge it. You can save yourself some money that way.
Once you've opened the system you need to have a vacuum pulled on it to remove all air and moisture before recharging. Not something most ppl have the equipment for.
