    Whirling Sound While AC is Turned On, Matches Up With RPM

    Seems it may be just in the clutch? Sounds like the rings in the clutch are banging in to each other doesn’t it. @TX87R10 your last info inspired me to look for something obvious. Nothing seems loose like a bolt or bolts are missing. Entire compressor? just the clutch? Maybe this clip will call...

    Whirling Sound While AC is Turned On, Matches Up With RPM

    So I decided I was going to get AC Delco or "GM Parts" from Rock Auto. I saw a couple YToob videos on replacing compressors...trying to find one specific to 1987 is not so easy. Anyway, looking through the service manual and catching a few heads ups from install info, it looks like a bit more...

    I need an AC compressor I'm afraid. Discount rack price for a good one would be nice.

    Whirling Sound While AC is Turned On, Matches Up With RPM

    It *** supposed to rain all day here but only for a few hours in the late afternoon. I managed to pop the hood and idle the truck then turnt the AC on and off. Definitely coming from the compressor or the compressor clutch. Now battling my inner thoughts as to when and which compressor to...

    Whirling Sound While AC is Turned On, Matches Up With RPM

    Literally only when AC is on is the sound present. When no AC everything sounds normal.

    So is it possible an adjustment can be made or should I anticipate replacing the compressor?

    Whirling Sound While AC is Turned On, Matches Up With RPM

    I just had an initial feeling it was in the timing chain, sorry not belt. I said that because I was thinking about the serpentine belt running around the compressor.

    Whirling Sound While AC is Turned On, Matches Up With RPM

    My first instincts tell me that this has something to do with the compressor in the timing belt. It seems to echo through the exhaust when the AC is on. When the AC is off it sounds normal. Any info will help. Currently I am looking through the service manual trying to pin point where to start...

    Whirling Sound While AC is Turned On, Matches Up With RPM

    Recently while driving I had my AC on and it started to make a low volume whirrling sound that increases and decreases with the revs in acceleration and deceleration. Still blowing ice cold. When the hood is open it definitely sounds like it is timing belt related. Is this the sign of something...

    1987 Silverado fuel issue

    From what I understand the guages are negative reads so it is disconnected or a ground is out if it is beyond maxed out.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    @WFarm Paul, As mentioned before sweet Blazer. I like my 4x4 but one day really want a 2 wd to lower and put rallies on. Just curious, how close to selling your R1500 are you? Reading back it sounds like I could have typed R1500RU. lol :popcorn:

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Tuesday was hottest day of the year in RVA so far 98°. Seemed to be normal July temp in SC as I recall in my youth. Southeast humidity has always made it more intense.

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    It was Gun Metal Grey with all the badges(decals) in white. My favorite color on a Camaro and a Corvette.

    @Catbox Peter, I love your threads for Maxwellvis and his 49, 3100..and this thread for Burger and her Camaro. Amazing what you are doing with your kids.

    How would you make this truck less ugly??

    Yeah make it pretty and get new metal, or do the easy stuff. Either way it will be a great truck, just depends how much you want to work for it.
