Detailed Product Description

The Four Seasons New Compressor 178373 is a Hanon-type A/C compressor specifically engineered for Ram 1500 and 1500 Classic trucks. It operates on R1234yf refrigerant, which is increasingly common in modern vehicles for its lower environmental impact. The compressor comes pre-filled with oil to maintain proper lubrication and reduce wear. Featuring a 4-groove serpentine pulley with a 4.250-inch outside diameter, it integrates smoothly with the vehicle's belt system. The included clutch ensures reliable engagement and disengagement of the compressor, while the 12-volt coil voltage matches standard automotive electrical systems. The tangent mount design provides a secure fit, and the lead wire connector simplifies electrical connections. Additionally, the package includes O-rings and sealing washers (24068 and 24069) to help maintain a leak-free installation.
