Hi jlb in borden. I need more info, please.

What pressure does it get to before it starts to manifest this problem?

If the belt is squealing, that's saying that something is binding the sheave, and if it's the sheave at the compressor head side, then it's likely an internal mechanism issue, but at this point I'm just guessing.

Cheers,

Bill
