Rocky Mountain Race Week Day 5: The Reality of "Drive Days" With NO Interstates (Denver to Kearney)

What happens here

The driver and co-driver pull over at a scenic spot beside a rapidly flowing river, taking a moment to appreciate the natural beauty. Shortly after, the AC completely stops blowing cold air. The driver inspects the engine bay and discovers that the AC compressor clutch is visibly broken and dangling, rendering the air conditioning inoperable. It is 103 degrees Fahrenheit outside, making the lack of AC particularly uncomfortable.

Goal: Take a break and diagnose the non-functional air conditioning

Tools and materials

  • AC Compressor Clutch — The component that failed, causing the AC to stop working
  • Red GMC Yukon XL GMC — The vehicle with the failed AC
