I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Classic (4.0L RWD automatic)
The AC compressor started making a lot of noise recently. Makes more noise when AC is OFF, but still makes quite bearing noise when the entire compressor turns and AC is ON.
I'm worried that the compressor will seize before I have an opportunity to replace it and thereby leave my stranded somewhere when it goes.. So my question is, does anybody know if its possible to remove the compressor pulley and bypass the compressor with a shorter serpentine belt and some clever belt-rerouting?
I looked at it and can't find any obvious way to accomplish this, however I figured I'd ask incase somebody else figured something out.
