I have no idea, first it was rock auto now it is american muscleWhat the He'll is he talking about! Hijacking threads ?
You did a good job of breaking down a diagnostic plan till you got to the last sentence. I will defend our vendors here on Stangnet when a post becomes critical of them, especially without proof.I offered you a profession strategy to diagnosis your issue don't worry I will never get in your way again enjoy throwing the parts cannon at it... As for big foot The rocks business model does not meet my expectations its geared up for the DIY guy that's not in a hurry and I am not that guy he will just have to get over it... I did not realize those compressors are so hard to locate new I have brought 100's of them OEM with the clutch for less than $200... I have converted 100 are more over to a Sanden mainly because the OEM suffers from black death https://aircondition.com/tech/questions/what-is-black-death , Y'all have a nice day...
The "rock" as you call them does have new compressor,I don't buy shot parts and hate shops that rip customers off,oh I canc rebuild anything for my dailys,I choose to do it my way, like Frank says.God bless your heart!I understand ordering parts can be a challenge its just not for me. I understand when its laid out like the rock does its a blessing for those that don't do it every day... You are challenging my personal opinion/experience I don't think you really want to go there I am not here to baggier the rock are anyone else I would just like to get it fixed in my lifetime... The rock does have what I need I did call the customer and explain my journey to stay in his budget I need his blessing "With his pocket book"
You would think working on older cars/trucks would be a win fall it is not the info and parts good parts availability is just not there anymore its becoming a lost leader : ( Like this compressor clutch deal in my life time I would never buy a reman anything to do with a AC compressor but it looks like its all he can get are from the rock anyways... Its tuff to be backed into a corner when dealing with reman AC parts BTDT and lost my arse I have several places that may offer good quality NEW AC parts I will keep it to myself : )..
I am not buying reman AC parts I will not even install it if you buy it Y'all can have all the poison... Enjoy...
My original compressor leaks so a cheap new one with clutch will do for this summer.Then a rebuild on factory compressor and rebuild for the clutch.the recharge is nominal as I'm a diy'er.I use ES12a and

I am not going to 'feel better' till you stop making negative comments about our vendors, at least without proof and a chance for a rebuttal but this thread is not the place for it.
Ok, the janitor has spoken.
I have not had any problems with parts from them and only have had one return, don't remember any challenges. But I usually know what to get (part numbers) and doing price comparisons, I have found most small items are far cheaper than the mustang specific vendors for the same part.
