Alliance adds AC compressor line

An expanded line of air conditioning (A/C) compressors is now available for all makes and models of Class 6 to 8 trucks from Alliance Parts, the aftermarket business group of Daimler Trucks North America.

Direct drop-in replacement parts, the value line of compressors were developed and tested to original equipment specifications for the heavy-duty truck market, according to Alliance. Produced by T/CCI, a leading heavy-duty U.S. compressor manufacturer, features

include a double end-capped PAC oil with special anti-wear additive.

“Air conditioning compressors are fundamental to the operation of commercial vehicles in the summer months,” said Todd Hooper, DTNA dir. of parts and service marketing. “With a lifespan of three to five years, air conditioning compressors typically aren’t part of a set maintenance schedule. But efficient A/C is essential to driver comfort as the season heats up."
