Truck A/C problems 95 f150 with a 4.9L 6cylinder

Later that afternoon i started feeling a knocking in the gas pedal at slower speeds *20-35 mph* and I could hear something that sounded like something "hitting" the pulley and clutch at an idle. So i took a long screwdriver and listened to the compressor and could hear a slight knock...still feeling the same knock in the gas pedal.

I did notice that the clutch was a bit loose on the pulley

I think that it might be the clutch itself that has gone bad, but not sure. I certainly hope its not the compressor itself.....

any help would be great.....

Come to find out, neither one of us lives in town (go figure), but... he's north and a little west (closer to Plantersville) and I'm south and a little east (closer to Tomball).

Still... it's nice to see 'neighbors' out here...

Like the country there (Magnolia). But like everything else, god..... where'd all the traffic come from. Yuk!

I've lived here for just over 8 years, now. And the only road 'improvement' (outside of a repavement here and there) has been opening up SH249 between the beltway and Spring Cypress Road. I can guarantee you that the population in Montgomery County hasn't sat still in those 8 years!!! Now we've got about 4 times as many people trying to use the roads that were JUST sufficient, back then!!

Grrrrr r!!! Traffic is one of my pet peeves.

If the compressor is turning and you still have a charge of refrigerant in the AC which you will know you have if the compressor is turning because there is a low pressure switch that will turn the compressor off if it runs low on refrigerant.

So if the compressor is turning and there is suffecient refrigerant in the system it probably is the compressor gone bad.
