Re: AC Noise

["D.A.K." <dak@rochester.rr.com>]

I had an experience with my '87 5KTQ where the compressor seemed to sieze.
I think it siezed because the belt would sqeal every time I put the AC on.
I tried a few times after that and same thing. Many months later, I tried
again and it worked! So, got some AC lubricant and the hose from the local
auto parts store and added it. I added some more a few years later "just in
case". So the '87 has AC that works great! Better than on the '91 200q20v
(which I'm going to have looked at).
