Hello,

I've got a grinding/vibration noise coming from the AC compressor...I used a stethoscope to isolate the source of the sound, and it does appear to be coming from the compressor. I did a search, and it looks like it's a pretty common issue for the 2001's.

Has anyone had luck replacing the bearings in the clutch pulley assembly? What about aftermarket units, has anyone tried recently to order one from a major autoparts store such as Autozone or O'Rileys? (I know about the problems in the past)

The unit works great other than the noise/vibration. Also, does anyone have a part number for a shorter belt that will allow me to bypass the AC unit all together?

Thanks!
Dave
