Do you have the 6-rib pulley?

If so, it [should] be (if factory installed) an SD709 compressor.

If so, this should be the clutch assy that you need:

Factory compressor would be a nippon-denso 6P148A

Dealer installed air would be the Sanden SD709


Pictures would help

That's odd because when I looked, it was the reverse of that.

Can't count on nuttin!


Did you happen to find a replacement clutch when you looked?
