    That'll either be a need to have your AC compressor clutch spacing adjusted or you'll need a new compressor.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I'm having the opposite problem, but intermittent; get a grinding noise when the system is on, with metal shavings around the compressor pulley. Can you tell me more about adjusting the compressor clutch spacing?
