Hello everyone!
I'm back for more free handouts of excellent information! I have greatly appreciated everything this far!
95 burb k2500 5.7tbi, aluminum heads, 180k miles.
So a while back I swapped in some Chevy, non vortec, aluminum heads. Since then, my compressor makes a groan between 600-900rpm, goes away with higher rpm over 900. Also isn't present unless the AC button is engaged. My mechanic buddy thought for sure it was the compressor going out, so we swapped it. Put a new one or reman and it makes the EXACT same noise in the same rpm range.
We are thinking there's a vibration or something we can't see but can feel. Also, the mounting bracket for the compressor, only two of the 3 bolt holes lined up with the stupid aluminum heads I put on. Could the third bolt missing be causing this vibration ?
Thank you for any help and advice. I really do appreciate the experts on here who always take the time to give detailed excellent info for free.
