On my 89 XJ.. I've got power steering and A/C .. The A/C Mount.. the aluminum or cast part that has a pulley on it that mounts to the block.. seem to keep creaping forward.. The First time it happened.. I was stuck in Virginia on Labor Day weekend at 2:00a.m. I towed the jeep home and fixed it by replacing it with a part off of a low mile 88 xj .. low miles being 54,000 miles..
This pulley is also starting to creep out.. I noticed this by noticing that the belt doesn't seem to sit perfectly centered on the pulley..
I have replaced the fan with electric fans so this time it won't push into my radiator and leave me stranded, but still.. it's buggint the crap out of me..
Is there a common problem with these pulleys/ mounts or is there a way to replace the a/c mount and eliminate the a/c all together.. I don't use air conditioning, and have removed most parts except for the compressor and the mount.. Just so I could use the pulleys.
Has anyone sucessfully removed the a/c unit and used stock jeep parts to keep the serpentine setup..
If so.. what parts would I need and what model or years are they off of..
I know that some jeeps came with out a/c and I think that's what I'm getting at.. Is .. will the setup without a/c work?? and what other items would I need to get.. is there a different idler pulley or something???
Thanks in advance..
