Your serpentine belt is slipping as the air conditioning compressor cycles. Could be a worn belt, tensioner, or idler pulley. Sometimes the additional load on the belt causes the water pump or compressor bearings to shift enough to cause the squealing.

GA, as well there could be non condensables in the system if it has ever been serviced by incompetent mechanics. This would lead to high compressor pressures, that exceed the systems design to prevent belts slipping. I don't know if there is an overpressure switch in this vehicle.

You idler adjustment (that should uptake any slack automatically through a spring tensioner) has corroded in salt air in the Sultanate of Oman. This is the root cause of the belt slippage on the AC sheave, although I agree with other posters that you may actually have a contamination problem in the AC compressor. Hit it with a larger hammer, and things will be alright, or use a little bit of rust-inhibiting, rust-removing penetrating oil on the idler mount/spring assembly to see if it loosens up travel, and it shifts to tighten the belt.

Beyond that, I suggest putting this car up on high hoist (2-sided one), compressing it severely at the upper cross-beam, then driving another new one under it.

Do you have Muscat grapes there in that town. A friend of mine grows orange muscat grapes, and they make the most excellent of jellies for biscuits. These are also very useful as a blending grape in wine production, (or if no alcohol is allowed in your neck of the desert, then grape juice).

Good luck with that car, I hope you can hand it off to your son, with your blessings.

I had a Chevy Nova that sprang a A/C leak so I didn't use the A/C. It was when I was tooling down the interstate that I discovered the fact that the compressor cycles on with the defroster setting. The poor compressor, lacking any lubrication, locked up solid. The screech was so loud, I had to use a tire iron to break the suction on the vinyl seat cover.

Oh, and I saw some muskrat jelly alongside the road, but I didn't taste it.

Muskrat, and muscat are two entirely different things. FYI

We grow muscat in our neck of the woods but we don't grow Muskrat. You say they are different but just how much different? Is it good taste? The wine from muscat puts hair on your tongue what about Muskrat? The wine is described as full body, dessert style. How would you describe Muskrat? Our local producers sell their muscat quite cheaply do you have deer wine over there?

Great site to learn all sorts of stuff.

Jim

We grow

Last time I heard ( have not checked this out personally ), muskrat is very greasy right out of the pond, and fermented, I would suspect the odeur to be somewhat over-powering, and likely to induce wretching, except in the most manly of bike gangsters. Most bike gangsters could probably not really smell fermented muskrat, or even sh** house rat, since that would have to over power their own personal odeur.

Nothing personal to the bike gansters, since they all have their "red wings" from other personal habits.

You? Really? You want to come over here to Texas, and sort me out? Now I am rolling on the floor laughing, and I have tears from laughing so hard. Behave yourself, or I will call your mother to tell you to go home for dinner early.

Dear Sir: Thank you kindly for your quick reply and my apologies for my late response. I had a look where Texas is and I'm glad it is far from here. I promise to behave myself, so please do not call my Mum. Could you please give me my Mum's phone number as I lost it when I was a little boy. I would like to prank call her.

Thank you very much in advance.

So then, your mum drove you out to the Namibian Desert, and deserted you? Poor lad! If she has gone on to the other side, and left you here stranded that way, again, Poor Lad! You should call 1-800-JES-USIS, and see if they will put her on the line?

Did you know that every breath you take by the laws of probability still contain some of the molecules or at least some of the atoms that were in your mother's breath while she was giving birth to you? Breathe in, close your eyes, and you can see her.

thAnk yoo fer yore anser.

i'm to poor to pay attentshun, thets y whiy i dont rite so good.

Maybe she had to drive me because here the rivers don't work too well and maybe she didn't have a bastard basket. I'll try the 1-800-JES-USIS number, I hope they take long distance collect. I will probably never see her as my application to that place was rejected twice. They said I should apply again when hell freezes over, but then for refugee status. I'm pretty buggered now because the boss of that hell place says that he has enough on his hands with that Saddam and Hitler guy causing sh1t and giving him red hairs. I have now sent in my application to a place called Valhalla.

Valhalla - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia

Your (every breath you take by the laws of probability) got me thinking and is a pretty nice thing to say to someone who might have lost a mother. I wonder if it rings the same for one's father in some way.

I still have a mother and father. I am lucky enough to see my father daily as he is still around and I see my mother every two or three years as she stays in South Africa somewhere on the south coast.

I am now trying to make viking beer.

Thanks for the good attempt at a West Texas accent by your typing.

Did I already tell you about the Moses-like story in my family history? There is one, about a flood on the Wabash River between Illinois and Indiana, and my grandfather's father and his sister saved from a flood by neighbors, while their parents did perish, along with older siblings - all back in the early settlements of that area.

How is Viking beer distinguished from German lager? Is is Mead? Ale?

I would not worry so much about not making it into Valhala or into heaven past the pearly gates. Forgiveness belongs to all who ask and believe. Actually, one has to die in combat to make it into The Great Hall of Warriors and to sit at Odin's table.
