Belt squeal at a/c compressor
99 7.3ltr
I replaced all three pulleys,2 on tensioner pulley and one between a/c compressor and alternator,alternator is new to. A new belt and so far 2 a/c compressors all new. When I put new a/c compressor on it was fine for a few days then started to squeal,took it back and got another new a/c compressor,fine for a few days now this one is squealing too. Sounds like the belt is squealing but the belt is tight. Could the belt tensioner be over tightening the belt and making the a/c pulley squeal? Checked the gap on a/c clutch and it has good clearance.
