ac noise

has anyone heard a chattering noise coming from i assume the condenser when the air conditioning is on?

 

Yep, normal

 

mine does it sounds like fucking shit too!!!!!


i noticed something the other day though. if i press the clutch in my sound goes away. when i let the clutch back out the noise comes right back. it seems to be much louder when the air conditioner is on though.

 

Its the fan hitting the fire wall.

 

sounds like a throw out bearing to me at least on my truck it does mine clatters like mad and my truck only has like 6k on the odometer!

never had any shit like this on a new car or truck before it's very strange.

 

oh well..winters coming soon anyway. fuck this weather, over 100 in north jersey today!!

 

lol i like the warmer weather but, it's horrible in here in southern nj. dude my thermometer on my kitchen window say's 105!

 

is it when you are in neutral and parked? mine really sounds like a diesel when ac is on parked and in neutral, get a real low vibration that sounds like it is coming from mid chassis

 

I have the same problem i have a 2008 5 LUG It does it with or without tha AC but is Bad with Ac On. and when the clutch is pressed is less sound. I don't know what it is but my money is on throw bearing. When I have money I will change the hole clutch.

 

mine makes the noise regardless of the clutch position..is sounds like the compressor/condenser/something bc it will stop for a little when come back..like it cycles

 

check cabin filter, mine was making some weird noise, it was just a leaf up in there.

 

ill check that out, thanks!

 

I have basically the same truck as you (just in RC form) and with just 1500 miles on mine it's making similar noises. Usually can't hear them inside the cab but outside you certainly can.

 

yeah im thinking if this many people hear the same thing, it cant be anything horrible or abnormal. like i said i feel like its the condenser or something im not worried. thats wat warranties r for haha

 

My '04 makes a lot of noise from the compressor clutch, and also occasionally "glitches" (feels like the engine almost stops) when the AC's on.

It's not the idler pulley. I sprayed some silicone behind the compressor pulley and it went away, but came back somewhat after a desert ride.

I'm going to spray it again, and see how long it stays quiet.

 

Its happened with my truck since day one. I took it to the dealer right away because it did not sound normal to me. I find with the A/C on and clutch in, the noise goes away, but in neutral with the A/C on and clutch out the noise is there, and as some have mentioned, its sounds like a TO bearing is going out. Still doing it after 37,000 miles...

 

Its a 4 cyl thing, you would not understand

No, really the 4.0's do not have this issue.

 

Mine has it...and yes, it sounds like a diesel when idling.

 

its the throwout bearing!!!!

if you hear it will the clutch engaged and then it goes away when you depress it, its the TOB!! and yes i had the same problem until i put a new TOB in and BAM!!!! Problem solved!!

Seems many of us hear it outside of the truck during idle, too; therefore, the clutch is not engaged.
