2000 EB, 5.0 195687miles last Sunday road trip to Vero beach, a/c running great...had truck up to 95mph and was smooth sailing, then noticed a/c cut out figured it was the WOT cut out. ok it was. left party started truck, my son said it was making a "funny" noise, got home and under the hood I hear "screaming" from the engine. open hood and I cannot place the noise....sounds like metal to metal grinding and it stunk real bad. I replace the idle pulley, and it was a bad bearing. but the noise was still there. I then noticed the a/c was off and the clutch was trying engage with the EATC off...as the engine was running it was trying to spin, I can spin the clutch with my hand with the engine off. what the hell happened ? now as I drive the noise it terrible, what do I do? thanks.
