    Truck is a 2015 Tacoma DCSB, V-6, TRD Off Road, Automatic, 4X4, 131,000 miles.

    I posted up a weird air conditioning problem that happened last month.
    Posted here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/weird-air-conditioning-problem-anyone-have-any-answers.838370/

    Since then I have had no problems with the air conditioning, it works fine. Also I do not have a check engine light and no trouble codes. Over the past few weeks I noticed a whirling sound while the truck is running. It happens when the air conditioning is on or off. It does seem to follow the throttle, like it increases or decreases when giving it gas. You can only hear it at low speed or idle. You can hear it both inside and outside of the truck. I did remove the serpentine belt and hand spin all the idlers, power steering pulley, alternator, fan, and the air conditioning compressor. The only thing that makes noise is the air conditioning compressor. I made a few videos and uploaded them on You Tube with the sound I am hearing as well as the noise the air conditioning compressor makes when I turn it by hand. I also ran the truck with the belt removed for a few minutes and yes, there was no noise with the belt off.

    So far everything I have done points to a bad air conditioning compressor, but I would like to know what you guys think it could be. Is the air conditioning compressor noise that bad that it needs to be replaced? Could it be something else? Any help or information is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
