Hello Quick
Are you running a truck front drive or car front drive serpentine system?
Did it work right out the box or did you have to modify in some way or another?
I got it to work 98%of the time for me.
It was a loud squeak at all times disassembled it & reassembled it for a day & a half following directions down to the T with help from the tech line on the 2nd day we decided to start shimming the bracket between the head & bracket with 20mm washers started with one & no better added the 2nd & it immediately got quite
It's all good when the motor is warmed up but at cold starts I have a small chirping sound but I quess I'll just have to live with it for now I'm frustrated already & ready to get the AC hoses crimped on & AC charged & move on to the next project on my truck.
Thank you for your time.

Nature of the beast when using aftermarket A/C Compressor Bracket kits made with with either Steel Plate or Aluminum Plate, Plate Stock is not held too tight enough thickness variation standards.

Once a Belt squeals from misalignment.....It's done (Glazed), Even you have it shimmed correctly now, You need a fresh Belt too know for sure.

Gatorback belts help with a lot of noise problems from things being slightly misaligned. If you buy them on Amazon they're sometimes cheaper than the house brand belts at auto parts stores.
