I know I can get a belt that will work for this truck without A/C, but if I remove the A/C will it throw a code? What happened is the compressor is bad and I don't need/want to replace it, so I figured I would just yank it and scrap the parts, but I don't want to do that if the computer will throw a code. Any ideas?
but like where i live.. why would you?
i seriously kill over without an a/c

Where I live I can count only a handful of days where I wished I had AC . There is less junk under the hood now and better air flow through my rad without the condenser . Besides when I go on a long trip I take the Jeep as it has Air and my wife wouldn't go anywhere without it .

Yeah, my wife has a 2010 Kia Soul. We take that on long trips, so I'm not too worried about the little 30-45 minute drives I take in the summer without air conditioning. If it would quit raining for a day or two I would like to get out there and start ripping it off, but noooo ... it's still raining, and has been for the last week and a half. lol

not so much a reply as an inquiry, lol
Got a '99 2500 with the 360 in it, want to bypass the a/c. Did this on a '99 1500 with the 360 in it and we ended up using a Chevy belt. Of course, we threw out the belt packaging...should be the same belt, right? and if so, does anyone know any part numbers? lol. thanks guys

Thanks. I thought about it for a few minutes and just took a piece of cord and measured the one on that 1500, lol. I got a duralast belt p/n 900K7.....put the box in the glove box for later this time. Why don't all us forum members open up a Dodge Parts chain and franchise, so much more useful than the bums at the parts stores. Thanks again guys.
