hello. on my third gen i have had 2 ac compressors go bad. the first one came apart at the front of the clutch and the clutch fell off. found it on the crossmember. the pulley stayed on and the truck was still drivable. now on the second one which i bought used it started making a nasty metal to metal grinding banging noise. so i looked and the same thing happened with the clutch except it didnt fall off, was just banging around. so i took it off and now the ac compressor makes a knocking sound that comes and goes. sounds almost like a bad rod bearing in an engine. has this happened to anyone else or am i just lucky enough to get two bad compressors?
