- Part: Dorman 34163 A/C compressor by-pass pulley
- Fits: 1982-1987 Ford F-150 and other vehicles
- Material: Aluminum bracket, plastic pulley
- Condition: New
If a failed A/C compressor is behind a warm cabin or a noise at the front of the engine, this pulley lets the compressor come out while the belt keeps running. A worn belt tensioner, an idler pulley or the belt itself can be behind similar noises too, so find the cause before buying. Each vehicle needs one pulley.
