Buck,
Yesterday I pulled the tensioner pulley and the inner seal showed signs of heat stress. As an experiment I shot a little grease into the raceway and the high pitched whine has almost gone away. So, I think I'll replace the pulley. Did not even occur to me; thanks for putting me on the right track.
Trying to figure out why it only makes noise when the compressor clutch is picked. Probably a harmonic between the two rotating masses. Boy, does that sound good!
Thanks again,
K
