    Any idea what could be making a squealing noise when running motor? it doesn't appear to hinder the performance. Any help would be appreciated.

    +1.... check the belt, tensioner, compressor, compressor pulley bolts, etc. If abnormalities are found- do NOT run the engine until the problem has been addressed.
