All I can say is; that it is one of my worst fears! They are known for this particular problem. I know through some of my friends with Chevys that the compressor can go quickly if you have the habbit of starting your engine with the air on. I have no good solution right now but I will be happy to do some research and keep you posted. I am truly sorry to hear your problem and by helping you find a solution everybody wins!
