a/c "Shop" says Compressor has no suction. (its bad) so youll need to get a compressor dryer and a orifice tube.
My compressor turns and stops at the pulley and blows air in the car.. Doesnt this mean that im getting suction.. or am I wrong in this statement..

The blower is in dash, your a/c and heater use the same blower.
My compressor went out as well last summer, i had to replace the same stuff... the clutch in the compressor is issue i'm sure.

stealership sounds crazy expensive but the lifetime warranty makes it worth it i suppose.. I am just not rolling around with money right now. sounds like a hot *** summer to me..

Well, I paid right around $800.00, its allot, yes......but I will never pay for another A/C repair again. Not leaks, not low 134, not a blown compressor......nothing. I love that piece of mind, especially in hot *** South Florida. And I already cashed in on it...one day I was driving and the a/c started blowing warm. I drove directly to the dealer and they found a burnt wire that goes to the compressor. It would have been a couple hundred $$$ at least to fix....1 hour and I drove away FREE. But the a/c system itself is over 5 years old now from them, still perfect and ice cold.
Just too expensive of a component/system to just have a 90 warranty on remanned stuff.

Well, if you do want a remanned one.....that carries a 2 yr / 24,000 mile warranty....for $213.00......I would go with the Four Seasons brand from www.rockauto.com. Rock Auto is a top notch company for support and exchanges on warranties.
So you could be up and running for under $300.00 total.....and a decent warranty.
