Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhanced Denso 471-0316 Compressor with Clutch by Mahmut Ojeda

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Q. What is the difference between this compressor and AC Delco?

A. One has an "AC Delco" label and the other does not. That's all. As previous reviewers have pointed out, Denso is the OEM for this part. I bought it to replace an OE in a 2001 Suburban 1500 LT and it was exactly OE right down to the electrical connections. Came in with no problems. It comes pre-filled with cooling oil and simple instructions to ensure you don't put too much oil in the system during installation. I had to have my mechanic track down the leak after installation, which turned out to be one of two new gaskets I installed on the compressor. My mechanic's first replacement also failed, so we figured the leak must be caused by the use of softer metal in the new replacement gaskets than what was used in the original gaskets. He replaced it with a higher pressure seal and now it's holding up great. Really great replacement compressor! DIY Tip: Use masking tape and a marker to mark each of the anchor bolts (e.g. top/front, bottom/front, top/back, bottom/back) when removing the compressor. old compressor. They are all different lengths and you could damage the bolt and/or engine block if you mix them up when reinstalling a new compressor.
