1999 Pace arrow engine air compressor??

At 40000 miles my air conditioner compressor failed and nearly locked up the belt. Now my mechanic has pulled it off and pep boys had one over night shipped to find out it was the wrong one. Ford v10, anyone know what the model number or part number would be? He said he called all the parts stores and they are telling him the same thing, they all look different than the one pulled off and it is original? $525 for this one, has to be something a miss. Please help if possible. thank you
  • UPdate.. FS10 will not work in any form. The high and low side must thread into the pump not be held in by a middle screw. Waisted an entire day looking at ones that do fit V10 but not RV v10. Sanden is the company that Ford had and still make them. If you go to a Ford dealer which I had to the compressor was $434 without pulley and clutch that list $600. I told them I needed to think on this. Now that I actually had my old pump in my hand I went onto ebay and they are everywhere all brand new with clutch and pulley already on the pump and a whopping $137 with free shipping. These are still made by Sanden and not rebuilt so no core charge issues. Well needless to say I was very happy, they are shipping the correct dryer ect so we can flush the system then put all new parts in. Man the "stealer s really have their talk down". I was told Ford discontinued the pulley on this one but I think one of the local parts shops has one and they did at $600 then a press on charge. What a joke. So any of you with V10 you may want to grab one of these and just have it ready to go. I have 40,000 miles on mine and the air really did not run that much at all so not sure what happened but the bearings are GONE it is in very bad shape.
  • You can always short belt it until you find the right compressor. "Short Belt" being one made for a non AC equipped engine.

    An FS10 compressor is a real common A/C compressor.........Pep Boys should have a compressor as common as it is......
