A/C Compressor noise
I was driving yesterday and decided to turn on some a/c since i had my little ones in the runner. then i heard this kinda loud screeching noise right after I turned it on then it quit after a few seconds. It did it again like 3 more times. Does it sound like the compressor is on its way out or is there some way of oiling it?

belt squealing during a/c cycles?...the a/c will cycle on and off (not sure about the 3.0's a/c but most vehicles a/c cycles) maybe the belt is squealing on the on cycle? I had a bad belt on my Wrangler and it would squeal when I turned the A/C on....thats why I assumed this...

nah the belts were replaced like 4 months ago. it is an internal noise...some noises ya can tell the difference in a belt and the actual component failing. nah wasn't close to a belt squeel. thanks anyways

I just had the same thing happen to my truck with 235k miles on it. I am pretty sure the clutch on the compressor is shot. Personally I am going to find a refurbed compressor and have mine swapped out.
