Thanks for the info, but I realize that the compressor itself cycles on
and off, but the PULLEY itself wasn't turning. I called the dealership
and they said that no matter what, the pulley should turn. The'll look
at it.
******Note - I've posted in the past about my dealership driving me
crazy with not fixing the paint chips properly on my truck - they are
doing something that's pretty cool now. I asked if I could have the
front bumbper painted red to match the truck (paint coming off of front
bumper) and they said no problem. Can't wait to see it!
