AC Loudly Purging
Hey Guys,
Have an issue with the AC that I cant find any reference for on google or anything. Stopped at a friends house the other day and left the truck running, we are picking up some chairs, and all of a sudden the truck starts making a HORRID sound. Ill describe it as blowing 100psi pressurized air into a Duck-call, very sharp for about 2 seconds then stops. ~30 seconds later, does it again. By the third time I can the hood open, I see its coming from just behind the AC compressor pointing down and in towards the valley. It's blowing refrigerant (I believe, dont know what else it could be) out a relief valve that is back there? Lots of white-ish steam looking stuff blowing out down and into the valley. Anyways, turn off the AC, it stops, turn it on, and it starts again after a few minutes, so I just left the AC compressor unplugged for now.
Cant find any thread describing this, anyone have an idea what Im looking at?
Thanks guys.

I'm in agreement with Mike, but would add, check the condenser to make sure it is not plugged with road grime/dirt. A good air flow is a must for good AC cooling.
