ducting problem. not the ac.

It depends. Using GATES belt numbers if its a 105 amp alternator, K060923. 145 amp K060930. Be sure to replace the a/c belt and check the tensioners. A/C belt is K040378. The tensioners should move smoothly the full range, but not forward and back. Think of the tensioners as a pulley on a spring loaded arm. Up and down is good, but not side to side.

There is a possibility that the A/C compressor clutch burned up or got disconnected. Try investigating the wiring for the clutch.

sometimes yes, also a worn belt can do this, If your going to change the tensioner change the belt....

If the air isnt cold, the A/C Is not working. Have the belt and tensioner checked, going the the a/c compressor.

The compressor is bad. I have the same problem. Apparently none of the tahoe's compressors are worth a ****! im having to replace mine too. You have to change the compressor, the accumulator/dryer, orifice tube and flush the lines. If you look on ebay you can buy a complete kit to change it all for about 300 bucks. The dealership tells me that you need to change the fan clutch as well. They told me that the reason for the noises is the fan clutch isnt working properly and it lets the compressor get too hot causeing higher pressures in the compressor due to the heat. They called it liquid slugging I believe. Mine doesnt break the belt but when you give it very much gas it makes a squeal and then a grinding noise like your trying to put a standard transmission in gear with it running without pushing in the clutch. I asked if you could just change the fan clutch and they told me no its too late, you have to change the compressor and dryer/orifice tube.

1. Discharge/Recover the refrigerant. 2. Remove the tension bolt. 3. Remove the V-belt and magnetic clutch wire harness connector.

4. Remove the suction hose and discharge hose from the compressor. 5. Remove the 4 mounting bolts on the compressor.
6. Remove the compressor downwards.

INSTALLATION IN REVERSE ORDER
1. Tighten the 4 compressor mounting bolts.
2. Connect the suction hose and discharge hose to the compressor. 3. Connect the V belt. 4. Adjust the V belt tension.5. Reconnect the magnetic clutch wire harness connector.

Hello, it sounds as if you have a problem with your tensioner jumping violently. When the defrost is on it uses the ac compressor that is why the belt jumps then to, but it sounds like you are going to be needing a compressor soon. It has a piston that is hanging up at a certain point and thats why it is jumping. It will break a brand new belt when it locks up,when that happens. Please rate my answer, thank you.
