MY a/c clutch acts up every now and again, tap with a pair of pliers gets her going every time lol. Where did you find a clutch? I looked last summer when I thought I was gonna have to replace mine and couldn't find just a clutch for a Dodge. Found clutches for semi's, and tractors using this compressor but no Dodge clutches.

:) got some video in the cab today after work ;) will get some outside to really show her working hard... brakes were cold too they really bit down... also to clarify they didnt not fully lock up they just stopped hard enough to slow the tires down to squeal ;)

also with the 20's you gotta add 7 mph to speedo. and its actually stopped at about 10 mph speedo couldnt keep up haha :woot:
