Now that I got all of your hopes up :thefinger:

Has anyone pulled off an explorer v8 swap and fit an oba compressor while also retaining ac? My truck is going to be primarily an off-road truck but having ac in Florida sure can be nice at times

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
i would twin pulley the crank or alternator and build some bracketry. not overly impossible. i have done it with the standard ford fead.


not sure if they make a oba kit for the explorer or not. there are kits out there for some setups.
