Detailed Description

Universal Air CK3870 is a fitment-specific A/C compressor kit for older Chrysler Corporation vehicles that need a short compressor replacement solution. Coverage includes 1992-1993 Dodge Shadow, 1993 Dodge Spirit, 1991-1993 Plymouth Acclaim, 1992-1993 Plymouth Sundance, 1991-1992 Chrysler Dynasty, 1991-1992 Chrysler LeBaron, 1991-1992 Dodge Spirit, 1991 Chrysler Daytona, 1991 Dodge Caravan without rear A/C, and 1991 Dodge Daytona with clutch. This part number, CK3870, is listed for systems that require the specified compressor configuration and related components noted in the fitment data.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn or failed A/C compressor assembly
• Restoring cooling performance on Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles
• Addressing compressor noise, seizure, or loss of refrigerant compression
• Servicing vehicles with clutch-equipped A/C compressor setups
• Supporting repairs where the condenser is also being replaced

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original compressor type and vehicle configuration before ordering. Fitment notes call out clutch-equipped systems on several applications, a 10PA17C compressor on some Chrysler Dynasty models, and a Denso compressor on a 1992 Plymouth Acclaim. For the listed vehicles, the notes also recommend replacing the condenser with a new condenser during service. CK3870 is a direct fitment-based replacement, so matching the exact year, make, model, and compressor configuration is important.
