Re: Popping Noise from A/C Compressor

[Kneale Brownson <knotnook@traverse.com>]

I don't know what "popping" means, Alexander, but when my A/C froze up on
the 5kcstq several years ago, there was a period before the belt started
squealing/smoking when the A/C clutch was bang-bang-banging.  Since the A/C
belt on my car only went to the A/C, I stopped the smoking by cutting it off.
