Part Description
This A/C air compressor was removed from a 2009 GM Colorado equipped with the 3.7L engine. The compressor has been thoroughly inspected by our technicians and is in good working condition. It is currently on our shelf and ready to ship immediately upon order.
The A/C compressor is the heart of your vehicle’s air conditioning system, pressurizing and circulating refrigerant throughout the system. Common reasons for replacement include internal bearing failure, clutch problems, refrigerant leaks from seals, or electrical issues with the clutch coil. When your A/C stops blowing cold air or makes grinding noises, the compressor is often the culprit.
