Here's how I tell which pulley is squeaking,
Open hood
Start jeep
Use wd-40 to grease each pulley
Grease each pulley until the squeaking stops
Replace the pulley

Mine is not a sqeaking pulley, its a slipping belt. Does it when I first start it or when I turn on the AC. Ill have to look for that tension bolt you were talking about. Does anybody have a picture of the belt tensioning bolt for us Cherokee newbies?

I had the same thing. My clutch went out on it.
In the end... if your clutch goes, you're better off just getting another compressor. Chances are the compressor is about to kick the bucket too.
Go to advance auto and put this code in : VISA (or) BIG50
VISA knocks $50 off of purchases +150
BIG50 knocks $50 off +200.
Since you'll have to have the AC replaced you're going to want someone to have it installed for you. Have them evacuate and charge it since you can't do any of that yourself. It's better, and supposed to be, left to the professionals. AC is not to be messed with by us shadetree mechanics. It's against the law.

Getting them muddy is what causes the bearings to burn out, thus repeating the cycle.Originally Posted by 1plunk
