    1991 HDJ81 A/C Compressor noise and slow spin

    To update this thread for others, my fix was that I simply added an additional shim (multiple shims came with the clutch kit I bought) so that the A/C magnetic clutch actually functions as it should. It has been working fine since I added the additional shim back in early October of 2022. In...

    I recently replaced the v-belt that runs the Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor on a 1-HDT HDJ81 (1991). I used the correct, OEM belt for the replacement and tried to match the belt tension based on feel. Also, I had a new Denso 471-1433 A/C Compressor installed back in 2017 when the original...
