thickness as necessary. If air gap is not consistent around clutch
plate, lightly pry up or tap down on clutch plate to make corrections.
To complete installation, reverse removal procedure.
Installation (Dakota, Durango & Ram Pickup)
1) Install clutch coil and clutch coil snap ring. Install
clutch coil wire harness to compressor housing. Align pulley and
bearing assembly on front compressor housing hub.
2) Install Handle (6464) and Driver (6143) into pulley
assembly bearing cavity. Ensure outer edge of driver rests firmly on
inner race of bearing. Using hammer, install pulley and bearing
assembly. While tapping on handle, guide pulley and bearing assembly
to prevent binding. Ensure pulley assembly bottoms against compressor
housing. Install external snap ring.
3) Install original shim(s) and compressor shaft key. Use a
hammer and Shaft Protector (6141-2) to install clutch plate on
compressor shaft. Ensure clutch plate bottoms out on clutch shims.

necessary. If air gap is not consistent around clutch plate, lightly
pry up or tap down on clutch plate to make corrections. To complete
installation, reverse removal procedure. Ensure A/C system operates
properly.
5) After completing compressor clutch installation, start
engine. Set A/C-heater control to recirculated air mode and high
blower motor speed. Set engine speed to 1500-2000 RPM. Cycle
compressor on for 5 seconds and off for 5 seconds, about 20 times to
break-in clutch.

BLOWER MOTOR VIBRATION
Possible causes of blower motor vibration include:
* Improper blower motor mounting.
* Improper blower wheel or fan mounting.
* Blower wheel or fan out of balance.
* Blower motor faulty.
BLOWER MOTOR NOISE
Possible causes of blower motor noise include:
* Foreign material in blower motor housing.
* Foreign material in A/C-heater housing.
* Improper blower motor mounting.
* Improper blower wheel or fan mounting.
* Blower motor faulty.
VACUUM CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
VACUUM CONTROL ONE-WAY CHECK VALVE
NOTE: Some models use brake booster check valve for vacuum source.
These models do not use another in-line vacuum check valve.
1) In engine compartment, locate Black vacuum hose that runs
from brake booster check valve or intake manifold, through firewall
near heater hoses or expansion valve. This supply vacuum hose goes to
A/C-heater control panel vacuum switch.
2) Within Black vacuum hose, disconnect and remove check
valve near intake manifold or brake booster. Connect vacuum gauge to
an external vacuum pump. Start vacuum pump. Plug end of hose probe on
vacuum gauge. Adjust bleed valve on vacuum gauge to obtain an exact
vacuum reading of 8 in. Hg.
3) Unplug and plug end of hose probe on vacuum gauge several
times to ensure exact vacuum reading. Connect vacuum gauge hose probe
to control panel side of check valve. Vacuum gauge reading should be 8
in. Hg. Replace check valve if vacuum leak exists.
4) Connect vacuum gauge hose probe to engine side of check
valve. Vacuum should flow through check valve. Replace check valve if
operation is not as described.
VACUUM CONTROLS
1) This test checks for proper function of control panel
vacuum circuits. Perform steps 1) through 4) under VACUUM CONTROL ONE-\
WAY CHECK VALVE.
2) Connect vacuum gauge hose probe to Black vacuum hose end
that leads to A/C-heater control panel switch. Position vacuum gauge
so gauge reading can be observed from inside vehicle.
3) Operate A/C-heater controls (sliding lever or push
buttons) in all mode positions (floor, defrost, panel, etc.). Pause
after each selection to allow vacuum actuators or motors to energize
and stabilize. Record vacuum gauge reading at each selection.
4) After each selection, vacuum reading should be 7.5-8 in.
Hg. Maximum vacuum reading drop is .75 in. Hg. If proper vacuum
reading cannot be obtained, vacuum leak exists in selected circuit.
5) To check for vacuum leak(s), disconnect 7-way A/C-heater
control panel vacuum harness connector. See Fig. 1. If necessary,
remove control panel from instrument panel to access A/C-heater
control panel vacuum harness connector, or remove lower instrument

are continually republished. In addition to these, standards for Drive
Train and Transmissions have recently been promulgated. Participating
shops utilize these Uniform Inspection & Communication Standards as
part of the inspection process and for communicating their findings to
their customers.
The Motorist Assurance Program continues to work
cooperatively and proactively with government agencies and consumer
groups toward solutions that both benefit the customer and are
mutually acceptable to both regulators and industry. We maintain the
belief that industry must retain control over how we conduct our
business, and we must be viewed as part of the solution and not part
of the problem. Meetings with state and other government officials
(and their representatives), concerned with auto repair and/or
consumer protection, are conducted. Feedback from these sessions is
brought back to the association, and the program adjusted as needed.
To assure auto repair customers recourse if they were not
satisfied with a repair transaction, the Motorist Assurance Program
offers mediation and arbitration through MAP/BBB-CARE and other non-
profit organizations. MAP conducted pilot programs in twelve states
before announcing the program nationally in October, 1998. During the
pilots, participating repair shops demonstrated their adherence to the
Pledge and Standards and agreed to follow the UICS in communicating
the results of their inspection to their customers. To put some
"teeth" in the program, an accreditation requirement for shops was
initiated. The requirements are stringent, and a self-policing method
has been incorporated which includes the "mystery shopping" of
outlets.
We welcome you to join us as we continue our outreach... with
your support, both the automotive repair industry and your customers
will reap the benefits. Please visit MAP at our Internet site www.

MAP UNIFORM INSPECTION GENERAL GUIDELINES
OVERVIEW OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS & SUGGESTIONS
It is MAP policy that all exhaust, brake, steering,
suspension, wheel alignment, drive-line, engine performance and
maintenance, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and
electrical services be offered and performed under the standards and
procedures specified in these sections.
Before any service is performed on a vehicle, an inspection
of the appropriate system must be performed. The results of this
inspection must be explained to the customer and documented on an
inspection form. The condition of the vehicle and its components will
indicate what services/part replacements may be "Required" or
"Suggested". In addition, suggestions may be made to satisfy the
requests expressed by the customer.
When a component is suggested or required to be repaired or
replaced, the decision to repair or replace must be made in the
customer's best interest, and at his or her choice given the options
available.
This section lists the various parts and conditions that
indicate a required or suggested service or part replacement.
Although this list is extensive, it is not fully inclusive. In
addition to this list, a technician may make a suggestion. However,
any suggestions must be based on substantial and informed experience,
