Thanks Squash! Took your advice and called them with the specs, but they want confirmation of the housing and require pictures. I'm going to send them in the next couple of days. Just curious if you had the Part # handy for the order you placed and how long ago it was.

Thanks again!!
Sorry - meant the Denso Part # - mine are rubbed off of the stock assembly.

Cheers!
 
FYI this compressor
NEW AC COMPRESSOR CO 21008C | eBay

Is a direct fit. The application is not listed, but through too much research about ac clutch measurements I found that this is a direct replacement for the AC unit on an 89 FJ62 - which is the same as used on HD-T (early at least) . The clutch lines up perfectly. You 24v guys could probably swap your old coil into one of these.

Thanks for posting this.
It says though it is a 10PA15C not a 10PA17C as in the 80's series? Or did the JDM trucks come with 10PA15C instead?
 
The only 1HZ I have purchased that came with a compressor on it was 10pa15.

I actually bought a new 10pa17 and I dont see how one of these would ever fit on an HZ/HD. The body of the compressor is too long and all the length is in front of the front mount bolt which will move the pulley forward too far.

On that note I have a NEW 10pa17 if someone wants it. The pulley and clutch will not work but you can re-use yours if its the correct compressor for you.
 
The problem is: after reading all related posts and researching the web, I still don't know what type of compressor came in the '90 HDJ81.. How much you're asking for the new 10PA17C unit anyway?
 
Also, If you already have a compressor you can post a photo or look it over. It will have a 15 or a 17 cast into the body somewhere, and the tag on the back may also say which it is - or post the denso or toyota number.

For anyone following this thread in the future, here's what I ended up getting from Jenson Auto for my 10PA15C.

Cheers!

Can anyone confirm if this same 10pa15c or 10pa17c compressor will fit the hdj81 1hd-t in a 1991? As well as that compressor from the 1995 pick-up, which seems to be a Reman not a Denso? Looks the same from the eBay pictures. I'll be asking at the parts shop when I get back from work, but that won't be until next week.
Thanks

Did this work? Looking for something definitive, a lot of these types of threads are full of "should's".
 
The compressor is still working great guys, and everything was a direct fit on my 91 HDJ81 1HD-T.

Hope you find a solution.

Well - I have made some progress!

For anyone in the same situation, I found a Toyota OEM rebuilt AC compressor/clutch at the link below. The price is abit steep compared to other options but I figured for the hassle I would just go with this option -->

I also spoke around to some various AC shops about the price of a 134a conversion and it was quite steep ($400 range). Also, I have read that 134a does okay but generally has worse performance than r12. For the cost and performance, coupled by the fact that I just did the online test to get EPA 609 certification, I think my plan is as follows:
1) Order some r12 off ebay - I reckon 3 lb should be more than enough...
2) Install and hookup my new AC compressor and get a new dryer unit. I will leave the belt off until all the other steps are complete to avoid burning it out running without refridgerant (if this is possible )
3) Bring the setup to a certified shop locally to make sure there are no leaks or other issues with system that need to be addressed
4) Get the r12 from step 1 shipped to my PO box on the stateside
5) Hook up belt and with truck running fill system with required amount of r12.
6) Drive home.

Anyone see any problems with this plan? I think I should be able to get the r12 for <$100 which is a significant savings over the conversion....
 
From my reading of the label on my truck (in Japanese) which I only could tell was related because R12 appeared as R12, I assume the only other letters I understood which were: 900 g +/- 50 g told me that the system needs about 900 grams of coolant. This comes out to 1.98 lb which tells me that I would need just under 32 oz of R12.
 
interesting, I have thought about Freeze 12 or the like as another option, but would have to get the system all cleaned up and re-sealed before I did this step.
 
If you have a Princess Auto nearby, their refill kits actually work quite well.

Are you saying I should do this instead of the R12 conversion?

I figured I can get R12 at roughly $30 per lb on Ebay which avoids having to flush out the system, change various seals/conncetion ports etc. Total cost this way should be <$100.

Oh and thinking of the fact that my compressor is being replaced, I am guessing I would need to add oil to it before filling? Or does the R12 come with oil in it out of the can (I think not)?
