Well there's 2 options on Advance's website, both are identical except in color, and the option is high pressure or low pressure and they go in the same spot.

The low-pressure switch is on the refrigerant line.

The color has to match yours. That tells you the pressure that the switch opens to protest the compressor.

Nevermind. I got the A/C to work.

This is the third compressor on this truck. This one is an AC Delco one, but at 2000 rpm the clutch wants to scratch and skip. What the heck?

Okay is the belt and tensioner okay? Check and make sure the belt is not slipping.

Belt is brand new, 2 days old. But the tensioner I wanted to replace but they gave me a bad one and I put the old one back on, although it wasn't necessarily "bad." If I rev the truck up the clutch on the compressor scratches and I let off from revving it, it will scratch all the way down to 1,000 rpm's.

Okay,

1. How much oil did you put in the compressor before installing?

2. Check the air gap for the clutch to plate. It should be.017.

The compressor came filled with 3 oz. And using the info you gave me, I filled it up to 8 oz. I have no way to check the air gap.

You would need a set of feeler gauges for this. You can get them at any parts store for under $10.00.

Okay, but how do you adjust the gap for this compressor? There's a center nut for the hub.

Correct. The center nut has to be removed and there are shims behind it for the adjustment.
