Hi, I have a number of problems that I have questions about. I appreciate any possible help and/or suggestions. I have a 94 reg cab,
4x4 p/u, w/ a brand new 22re w/ 4000 miles, a lce efi pro cam-shaft, lce header, 2.25" exhaust through hi-flow cat, muffler. Also, a k&n filter charger. A new Luk clutch was also installed at the same time as the engine.1) I haven't used the a/c in about a year (I live in Colorado). I started using it and it worked okay, except for the fact that it wouldn't blow cool air when the truck was idling. Then, when I would turn on the a/c switch, while the car is running, it would make a loud squeling sound. The pulley coming out of the compressor (I think) doesn't turn, the belt squels and smells like it's burning. My guess is that the compressor is shot. Any ideas?
2) At about 48-52 mph, a whistling sound is noticably audilbe. I think this only happens on acceleration. I checked the k&n filter connections, the cb whip, and the connections on the exhaust - nothing. Any ideas?3) This one is difficult to explain - thought i'd throw it out anyway. On occasion, when driving in 1st to 4th gear, I will hear a somewhat loud rattle/vibration. I can't isolate it, as it only happens when driving and only for 3-5 seconds. Again, I checked the exhaust and header for leaks and secure bolts - nothing. This was happening before the new engine was installed. I know this is a vague description, my main worry is that it may be something in the driveline (u-joint, cv, driveshaft, etc) or the transmission.
Thanks for any possible help. Jason
