every time I have the a/c on and go over like 80mph I hear this whirling/whistle sound, it's a hard sound to describe, but it's there and only when the a/c is on.

I went to TOI once to get an oil change and it took for ever and ever, so I haven't gone back since.

Yo Elden...sorry if i wasn't able to entertain you earlier when you came by, got caught with this "customer" with too many questions. Glad to see you though and the 'C is looking good. See you around.

I get that whirling sound to, usually at 60 mph and up. I have had it checked out and they said they couldnt find anything, but it doesnt seem to be doing it very often anymore. I cant hear it anymore over the noise of my new header if it still is making noise anyway

Elden, i thought your pulley wasnt underdrive, i thought it was just ligthen? if is underdrive, could it be that the belt is not short enough? i do recall asking you when i put the pulley on if it was underdrive and lighten or just lighten.

My bad, it's a lightweight crank pulley, you're right! But it still makes that weird ___ noise when the a/c is on.
