A/C Ticking

Search feature really didn't come up with much...

I was in a drive through today, had the window down & heard a loud ticking...
turned off the a/c, and the ticking stopped. If the windows are up I cannot hear it at all, but if they're down, it's super annoying.

Is this a common issue? TSB?

 

I've read it might be the clutch in the compressor, maybe a place to start at least. I'll put some links to possibilities below:

I've had my truck since August 1st. You think the dealer will cover the repair/fix?

 

Sounds like your truck is just under 6 wks. old. If there's an issue, you should be covered. The problem will be getting the dealer to acknowledge that trouble exists in the system.

You may hear "we've never seen this before" or "your truck is behaving normally".

Hope they fix the problem.

 

They should fix it free of charge, take it in, don't let them tell you its not an issue because many other people have experienced the same problem.

 

Thanks guys. Luckily I work across the street from the dealer. Wish me luck
