Description

The 1988 Ford Bronco II AC Compressor is designed specifically for the 2.9L V6 engine configuration with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, matching factory specifications. This compressor is a critical component of your vehicle's air conditioning system, responsible for compressing and circulating refrigerant to keep your cabin cool. It features a single-groove pulley design, commonly known as the FS6 axial compressor, which is widely used by aftermarket brands such as UAC, Four Seasons, GPD, and Valeo. When replacing your AC compressor, consider checking the total oil charge in the system, as new compressors typically contain 10 fluid ounces of refrigerant oil; installers should drain approximately 4 ounces to maintain proper system balance. For those seeking compatible parts, explore the AC Compressor category or browse other Bronco II parts and Ford parts to ensure a perfect fit and reliable performance. This compressor is a direct replacement option for factory-installed air conditioning systems in the 1988 Bronco II, helping restore your vehicle's cooling efficiency.
