need help....dear god, i need help....

ok, i just bought my truck about a week ago and i oiled the belt driven compressor like the guy told me to but now im havin problems, the other night when i had my truck running, i hit the switch to turn my compressor on and it started squealin really bad so i jumped out to take a look at it and the belt had stopped spinning, now i dont know what to do to fix it because i dont know whats made it stop in the first place, the guy said it cant be major because the compressor is decently new(air ride is what he told me)...so if anybody can help a guy out, id really appreciate it...

hey bro i deal with alot of engine driven compressors first off where did u put the oil and what did u use?

That bitch is locked up....Sorry man. When you get a new comp run a 50/50 mix of lucas and 30 wt and you'll be fine. Ive heard of new yorks lockin up within 10 mins of first turning them on

look i have had a compressor lock up within 5 min of runnin but i did it right also i used mobil 1 syn. with lucas syn... i used this in all my clubs compressors and it works great.. u need to take the bolt out of the side of the compressor and when you put the lines back on put a lil in suction port and discharge port.

i used havoline 5w 30 because thats what he told me to use, and i removed the bolt on the right side of the compressor like he told me too...so am i lookin at a new compressor???? what are some price ranges if so?

you can go to autozone (i was a manager there) and get an ac compressor for a 77 mustang with a 302 the part # is a 57022 and its about 160.00

you guys will have to excuse me, im a lil slow...so a ac compressor for a 77 mustang will fill my 3 5 gallon tanks?????????????????

DID THEY EVEN HAVE AC IN 77??

wha tmost of my friends have done is called a place called pull-a-part in nashville and they sell all A/C comp. for $15- $25 each.... it might be a shot it worked for them
