Jeep A/C Compressor Delete - New Belt Routing

[@jonb2046]

You know, Doug's vehicle always starts at the end of his videos, LOL. I'm just busting your chops man. Great info, thanks for sharing. I'm in the crowd that wants to see more of that ZJ, keep these coming!

[@DEInTheGarage]

Haha... You shall have your ZJ content. We promise!

[@stayreadyjustincase9150]

What size belt do you need

[@Cherokee-sz7xi]

Omg ,!!! That wiring makes me want to scream! May I suggest using a heavy drop cord with sheathing. It would be more insulated and cleaner install.

[@83countrysquire]

Yeah it gotten addressed in the next set if videos as I upgrade my winch

[@DEInTheGarage]

Haha.. that is a really good idea! The Plow ZJ is a bit of a beater which tends to not get the same attention our other jeeps get. This of it as a farm use only vehicle kind of. haha

[@gcanaday1]

I also

[@DEInTheGarage]

Out garages are filled with them... my goal is to get one of my Jeeps on one someday!

[@TheBassking15]

Can you remove the compressor now and just cap the lines?

[@DEInTheGarage]

Yep. That is probably the next step once we get some time. Make some nice room in the engine bay

[@justyntheoutdoorsman6995]

Could I do this on my xj with a 4.0 high output

[@83countrysquire]

It should work. Do you have the same accessory setup?

[@DEInTheGarage]

Yes, Any 4.0 with the AC compression above the alternator this will work for

[@hallhouse5098]

Justyn The Outdoorsman You can get a delete bracket/pulley that mounts where the compressor was.

[@Eraff98]

Where are you from in jersey? I’m also in jersey but southern part

[@DEInTheGarage]

We are in the North West by the Delaware Water Gap

[@Eraff98]

D&E In The Garage bit of a hike from me😂

[@jeremiah1797]

will this same belt fit a 1998 grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0, by passing the compressor.

[@davidralph2141]

Nope

[@ConfedVet]

I bypassed the AC Comp on my 05 Jeep Liberty, with a short belt and the water pump runs backwards. Will this hurt anything?

[@tatchik77]

It can make vehicle overheat.

[@TheBeardedJeeper]

I was watching this and my wife goes what’s up with the Alabama music haha 😂 great video. Also that wiring is what haunts dreams

[@83countrysquire]

Hahah it will get fixed soon trust me when this jeep was thrown together I was a jeep one night and plow jeep the. Next lol

[@guyprimo6414]

what year is that jeep? also is it a 4.0 ?

[@83countrysquire]

93

[@Matp345]

That’s my luck dude, fix an issue and immediately develop another one. Got to say a little relieved that you bypassed it because the bearing is bad. I see too many kids that think they’re going to gain 50 HP and say screw AC. If there’s one thing that needs to work in my truck it’s the AC

[@FrankSchwarzfree]

I've got a half inch deflection in my pants,too!

[@trevoro3227]

Why do so many jeepers hate a/c , i love mine, i can go wheeling in summer and have my interior a nice cool 55 degrees 😎

[@MrMrsregor]

they live in PA....

[@Matp345]

MrMrsregor I live in NJ and summers are disgusting.

[@MrMrsregor]

@@Matp345 yea man, i think it is really more that most jeepers are not willing to pay to fix a broken a/c but they still want to keep jeep"n

[@DEInTheGarage]

Yep... MY WJ only needs an o-ring and a re-charge to have AC again, but I can't bring myself to do it... need that cash to go to the new tire fund!

[@MrMrsregor]

@@DEInTheGarage how did you find out what o-ring is the one that is bad ?

[@danhambrick6331]

When it rains,it pours...lol...

[@DEInTheGarage]

You know it, buddy!

[@darylkornbau6739]

idiot alert , that got me a couple of times on my 94 zj.

[@nevets68]

Forgot the last 13mm bolt? IMMEDIATELY UNSUBSCRIBING! ;)

[@DEInTheGarage]

HAHAH... We have failed our subs... we shall seek penance for our crimes

[@nevets68]

@@DEInTheGarage For you insolence, say 5 jeeps are cool *and buy me a calzone.* :D

[@Sammmy-eg8jo]

good idea, but you need to remove the a/c compressor as well or turn it into an air compressor. tbh this was a 3 minutes video with 7 minutes of nonsense and wind noise i could done without. Basically you just removed a belt and then put a new one on based on a diagram on the front of the car right? still love you d&e, but not your strongest video. maybe mention which vehicles this is the same for

[@DEInTheGarage]

A reasonable suggestions. We are always working to improve our quality of video, audio, and content. as for the swap, it works in all non-renix 4.0s in the ZJ, XJ, and YJ, and TJ. Will NOT work in the WJ
