Universal Air CK2508 A/C Compressor Kit

Overview

The Universal Air CK2508 is a short compressor replacement kit for older GM truck and SUV HVAC systems. It is built for applications that use a piston-style A/C compressor with a 12 o'clock coil and fixed orifice setup.

Key Features

• OE-style A/C compressor kit for service replacement
• Short compressor replacement kit format for matched HVAC service parts
• Configured for piston compressor applications with a 12 o'clock coil
• Works with fixed orifice systems listed in the fitment data
• Part number CK2508 for ordering and catalog lookup

Detailed Description

CK2508 is intended for compatible Chevrolet S10, GMC S15, and GMC S15 Jimmy applications from the early 1980s through 1986. The fitment notes identify an OE-style piston A/C compressor setup, along with a 12 o'clock coil and fixed orifice configuration, which makes this kit relevant for owners servicing factory-style HVAC components on these GM platforms. The part number CK2508 is also useful when matching the correct compressor service kit during repair planning.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Restoring A/C compressor function after compressor wear or failure
• Addressing cooling loss caused by a mismatched or incorrect compressor setup
• Replacing service parts on fixed orifice HVAC systems
• Supporting repairs on Chevrolet S10 and GMC S15 platform vehicles
• Matching an OE-style compressor configuration during HVAC service

Installation Notes

Verify the compressor coil orientation, fixed orifice configuration, and OE-style fitment details before installation. The fitment notes also recommend replacing the condenser with a new condenser during service. Confirm the application against the vehicle's HVAC configuration and part number CK2508 before beginning repair work.

Quality Assurance

Universal Air identifies this as a short compressor replacement kit for OE-style service applications. Use the listed fitment notes and CK2508 part number to confirm the correct match for the vehicle and HVAC system.
