Air conditioner install using Waterloo parts

Here is the filter bracket…..


I planned to mount it on the other side of the bumper plate, but I made it too deep. I will have to dress it up or re weld it another day. Just need it functional.



I have it under vacuum. So far it is holding.




The hoses are all zip tied and everything looks good to me.



I ordered a small ball valve for the heater core lines in case reversing the flow direction does not fix the heat always on issue. I will use it only in hot months if needed.

Routing of lines past radiator/intercooler.

Routed new coolant line. Old one was too short once compressor was installed.



Added p-clamps as mine were missing.

Ok, quick question……

I asked the place I got my hoses from if I needed to do anything since my compressor was a 2016 NOS.

He suggested removing this cover, and manually rotating the compressor clutch center some to lubricate the seals.

Anyone else have any thoughts/concerns? They used star socket head screws which implies to maybe most people should not do that (I have the driver though)….

Any one have concerns with removing the cover of the clutch to manually spin it to help lubricate the compressor before I turn this on?

Well. I moved forward and spun the clutch. It did start off feeling “dry” but then after a few turns it smoothed out.

Does anyone have these bolts installed? My truck came without, and I could see a need but also it seams that it may be better without to isolate the intercooler from the engine vibrations. In the holes are blue plastic plugs and they appear to have been maybe cat painted in.

Put bolts back in. The vibration is taken up by the silicone couplers at either end of the charge pipe.
