I had to replace my ac tensioner. I have since found out it failed because of compressor slugging. From a response I got in one of my other threads http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/leaking-thermostat-housing.93332/#post-1119324 , I see that some may not have heard of AC slugging before. Here's a video of what's going on (it's not my video, but the same thing is happening on mine).
I am now suspecting that the coolant leak at the thermostat may have dripped onto the compressor and got into the bearings. I'll have to check the pulley and see if there is any slack, but is looking like I'll be getting a new AC compressor soon.
