Re: AC question: what's that "Oil can" popping sound when I turn on the AC?

Man, this is good stuff. Thanks for linking to that; I'm gonna try it when I get some free time (if that ever happens)

As for the AC noise, I think what you're describing is the sound of the compressor cycling on/off?? At idle, with the AC on, mine clicks on and off every few seconds, and the idle speed of the engine is slightly affected every time. I was told this was totally normal for these trucks.
