I have relative that has a 2000 silverado 5.3L Z71 and found out saturday night that his A/C tenisioner is making noise only when the A/C is on! Can someone help with a OEM pn# and i could swear theres aftermarket company that makes one too, but cant remember! Any help or suggestions please?

Piece of cake to replace too...I did mine about a year ago because it sounded like a jackhammer when the compressor clutch engaged.
