Looking for some AC help
My girlfriend started her truck and it's started making terrible racket/grinding noise
I've had this weird feeling that the ac compressor is on its last leg for some time now
I climbed underneath and sure enough there are metal shavings on the compressor pulley and it looks as if the pulley might be stripping out
I don't know much about how the clutch on the compressor works but what might be the chances that this is just a bearing/clutch problem and the compressor is still ok (not sure if it even makes a diffrence since i dont think you can get just an ac clutch for these)
