Aplus you are right there's no belt on the AC compressor.
I live at 2100ft elevation in New York.....not much need for AC here and its a gas hog if you run it.....so I didnt bother replacing the belt when the old one wore out.
There is nothing wrong with the system however.
I never said I havent had to do maintenance and fix the truck.
200,000 miles? My chevy seen that 20 years ago lol.
Aplus all those trucks you owned just proves my point....newer trucks are disposable items.
Use them up and throw them away cause they aint nuttin but a ball of plastic and cheap metal.
How many of you have a check engine light glowing in your dash?
From 96 and newer EVERY vehicle sold in the US is required to come with the OBD2 standard emission control/diagnostic system.
In New York the new yearly vehicle inspections will fail your vehicle if anything is wrong with this system.
Since it started in 96 we are just getting into the era where people will start having trouble getting their vehicles inspected in states such as New York....that require everything be in good working order with the OBD2 system.
It is expensive to maintain these systems once the vehicle gets old.
In 30 years time you arent gonna see these trucks on the road......people will have thrown them away because they get too expensive to maintain.
My old Chevy will still be rolling along though
