Reaching out in a hail mary. couple shops have been unable to help, throwing money at the obvious hasn’t helped yet either.
2015 Hemi 5.7, 130k miles.
What: Distinct high pitch whine/bad bearing grind when AC compressor engages. Can be heard from inside the cabin. Popping the hood and can not locate the sound. Correlates to engine rpm. Very obvious sub 2k rpm, such as when decelerating to idle.
Replaced:
-Ac compressor, noise is now (immediately upon replacement) worse then the original ac compressor. So that was a fun waste of money.
- blower motor
- idler pulley, tensioner pulley.
- water pump blew up on the highway and got replaced prior to/as this noise began to develop, 10k miles ago.
The noise is driving me up the wall. It is not just the compressor running, do not hear a similar grind/whine in any other vehicle I have owned nor been in. I drive very remote areas which does not lend well to hearing an obviously failing part sound.
Any help would be welcomed.
Thanks for looking/reading.
