Good to know. I'm guessing that it starts as a whine and ultimately ends as a seized bearing and smoking belt? I'll try to get them to take a look at the compressor and see if that is what it is.Originally Posted by Gotterdid

luckily i got to mine before it got that bad. I am pretty sure it went out from being submerged then no running for 2 weeks while my new Hemi was installed...DOH!
For the underbody... you can sand the rust off and paint it, this is what I do. For some parts, you can send, paint, and/or plastidip them. I may actually try this for some things.
Also, what if you have a very subtle whine in steering (in one direction) that seems to go away after it warms up? I noticed this after my last trip to the Uwharrie. There was no steering fluid, so I topped it off.

Checked fluid levels and it doesn't seem to matterif I am turning the wheel or not so I am leaning toward AC compressor. I ll update this when I find out more on Wednesday.

Dropped the Hemi off at the dealership tonight and picked up the loaner....its a Nissan Versa.I didn't realize how much I liked the commander until I drove that pop can home. I'm pretty sure that the hamster under the hood will forever hate me. I'm reminded of the old geo metro's. :-(

Went out to the rental car this morning and said hello to the hamster who just glared menacingly at me...he knew what was coming. So I get in and start the thing up and have a coolant light staring back at me. WTF!?! I mean seriously? Late for work already, having to deal with a pi$$ed of hamster for and engine and now a warning light? Then I noticed that, well that's odd the light is blue. What the hell does a blue coolant looking warning light mean? I figured maybe it was wiper fluid out so threw some washer fluid in it...nope. So there I am in in the drive way with my iphone looking up the owners manual for a Versa. It is a "Low Temperature indicator Light." What the hell were they thinking? Lets put in a warning light that comes on under normal expected conditions. I mean I can't think of a time when I'd be driving down the road and be worried that my engine has suddenly gotten too cold.
Ugh...round two with the hamster in the morning. :-(
