well I thought it was the pump, it was squeeking like hell, I hit the back of pully with WD40 and it stopped for a minute. I ended up replacing it this a.m. not that hard. Fired it up and the squeeking it STILL THERE:banghead: I have been :banghead: my head, I have tried alternator, not it, both pulleys, not it, know ps pump,. I checked water pump, is fine, no leaks. I soaked the ac pully and it stopped for about 1 mile. Do you think know the whole compressor needs to be replaced or is there a replacable bearing. Man this is starting to suck
