Sounds like the compressor is dying. Loosen the belt and see if the pulley has play. Try to turn the center clutch by hand and see if you hear a noise. If you have play in the pulley or noise or both then it is new compressor time. I can help you out with that if you have a need. Ken Wilford John 3:16 www.vanagain.com
