Hello. I have a 2001 chevrolet tahoe. 5.3. About 1500 rpm the a/c belt tensioner gets a real bad chatter/slapping motion in it. I have replaced the belt with a new gates belt, And i have replaced the tensioner with a new one, But the problem is still there. The noise/chatter is not there with thr a/c off. I relieved some pressure from the system thinking the pressure may be getting to high, This also didnt help. Any help whould be great. Thanks

sounds like there is an internal problem in the AC compressor.
