Hi folks, curious if anyone's experienced a similar issue to mine.
'98 with a stroker, AX-15, NP231, and tons of little mods. '99+ intake manifold upgrade, new PS pump, 136A alt, rubber Brown Dog motor mounts, relatively recent trans mount, etc etc.
I get a strange vibration when the A/C is on. I only notice it at idle but for all I know it's present throughout the rev range. It's enough to feel through the steering wheel and vibrate the mirrors. It isn't the electric fan, because I can pull the temp sensor to kick that over and it doesn't cause the vibration. Yet, looking at the fan belt I don't see any odd movement with the A/C operating. I can even put my hand on the compressor and it seems to feel normal. What gives? Could there be some internal balance issue that the A/C is making worse?
The only recent work that would have changed anything is an adjustment to the exhaust because I have a custom setup that, for a while, touched the bell housing of the trans and I didn't care for that. Now it has all the right clearances (as far as I can tell).
Suspects? Advice?
