Ok this is my issue. My Ac compressor started to burn and then completely shut down. My mechanic replaced it along with a valve. It wasent as cold as before. Well the new compressor burned out , the mechanic replaced again along with the condenser and air dryer since he mentioned there was metal filings . Well guess what on a long drive down to Fl the damm compressor burned out again. So now my truck is in GA and have no damm clue what’s causing this issue. Any ideas?????

It’s a 2011. Miles are 140k
The filter black tube he pulled out he called it the drier said it was clogged with metal. Something is causing it, it runs fine for a few days then begin to burn out and stop working.

Your Mechanic should have flushed the system, Even instructions with a rebuilt states no warranty unless system is flushed. I would get a NEW mechanic !!! after 2 compressors must be alot of crap in system. Maybe he never added oil to the system or wrong oil.
