Dorman - HELP A/C Compressor Bypass Pulley P/N:34245
Dorman 34299 A/C compressor by-pass pulley for the 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 and other vehicles keeps the original drive belt in use while an inoperable A/C compressor is bypassed.
This pulley suits a vehicle whose A/C compressor has failed, for instance one that is noisy or seized. Before choosing it, look the belt over with the engine off and cool and turn the compressor pulley by hand; a shop can run any test that needs the engine on. If the compressor is the cause, this pulley takes its place in the belt path.
Along with the 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, this by-pass pulley fits the 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 2500 and the 2005-2006 Dodge Ram 4000, among other vehicles.
