My A/C compressor blew this morning, and so I am going to replace it along with the accumulator and the orifice tube. I don't want to spend $400 at the dealer just for the compressor, but gmpartsdirect is certainly going to have it for much less. Problem is, I can't find the part number anywhere. It doesn't showup on any website I've found, or in a search here at TGO. I've tried to get it by calling the dealer, but they refuse to give me the dam part numbers, all they'll give me are prices. Does anyone know the part numbers for the compressor, accumulator, and orifice tube, or where I can get them?

 

I doubt this will be any help, but there's a trick I used to use getting part numbers.

When I phone a dealer for a part number, I always act like I'm gonna buy it (ask for price and availability, even ask if they need deposits etc) and then say something like, "I'd like to go check my bank balance/check with the wife/etc, I've had problems in the past where different people give me different prices, so could you give me the part number so I can phone back later, as you might not be there when I get back"

Always works.

Thanks alot for the tip man. It didn't work on the first two dealers I called, but I was able to get the part numbers off the third guy I talked to.
