Default I have a couple questions? A/C amd Exhaust

Hello everyone. I have a couple questions.

1) Where could I get a A/C Clutch replacement?

2) I think I need some new headers. Any idea where I could get a cheap set? I know this can get expensive , but this is only a work truck and towing truck and money is tight so performance is not a big deal.

I think by headers you mean stock exhaust manifold? Put up a wanted ad in the for sale section. I'm sure someone kept their stock ones after changing to headers.

I've always had success on ebay for cheap parts. Got a new A/C compressor for $150. retail is over $400 on them.

Whats wrong with your A/C that you think its the clutch thats bad?

I have the 4.7. The problem with my headers is they are rusty and I believe leaking. So if I could find someones stock ones that would be great.

I used to have my stock manifolds layig around but I think i finally threw them away. Those manifolds are very solid and heavy. If they are leaking then it is only the exhaust gasket that has failed you and you can get replacements from the dealer or from Hensons MotorSports for $22.

Most of the time with stock manifolds it is the manifold bolts that have broken so go out there and check those first.

And I agree with AF HEMI on replacing the AC compressor as a whole. Either way though you will need to capture and replace the freon in the system.
