Alright.. on the way home friday I noticed the a/c started making a high pitched ticking/squeeking noise.. That continued on Saturday until about my 3rd stop and then the noise just stopped...
Of course, it also stopped blowing cold air at the same time. I suspect that means teh A/C clutch died.. It's an 89 350 burb, so with the serpantine belt system I know it's not a locked up compressor.
So am I right in thinking clutch?
Second.. how difficult is the job to change it out? I see that I can actually buy a new clutch and *thankfully* don't have to replace the entire compressor..
Special tools required? Links to a nice writeup? Difficult or time consuming enough that it may just be better off taking it somewhere?
I can check my Hayne's when I get home, but figured I'd ask first... Thanks!
