If it is affecting the engine performance, it could be a problem with the compressor.

    So the compressor as it starts to fail would drag the engine down?

    Yes, if the compressor was failing it could put a heavy load on the engine by way of the serpentine belt.

    thats probably why the engine is over loading but what about the noise how would it make a phlap sound in the phlenem chmber i ask for referance on the noise is it inside or outside the cab?

SOURCE: squealing NOISE possibly from fan belt

There are several things you should know;

1. Power steering belt, when you make a turn, sometimes make noise, because your car needs power steering oil,=transmission oil.

2. when you turn on AC then you can hear a loud noise, you must check AC compasser,If the head wheel frozen, it will make a lot noise, that you have to fix your AC compasser.

3.check these two first, if both ok. shot some wd40 or lubricate see if it's work.

Hope this can help you

SOURCE: loud noise in the steering column;gear box replacd recently

Believe it or not there are some problems you should take to the dealer. It never was the gear box, its a defective steering column bushing. That problem had a factory notice and the dealer would have diagnosed it immediately an fixed it free parts +$40.install. Tahoes get that problem.

SOURCE: Chevy Trailblazer Engine very loud when starting

it's too early to tell. i,ve never known a light to come on because of a thermostat.you need to see what code was stored. without knowing,im just guessing. but my first thought was a plugged up catalytic converter. that explains the low power,also fuel filter.

Car makes very loud screeching noise.

It could be that the air conditioning compressor clutch is not working properly. The clutch should allow the pully to freewheel when the air conditioner is not used.
You can have your battery tested at.an auto parts store, and you can test the alternator by removing a battery cable while the engine is running. The alternator is what powers all the electrical systems while the engine is running. If the engine stops running when the cable is removed, this means that the engine was running from the battery and not the alternator.
Your alternator or your regulator is bad.
Regulators are an internal part of alternators, unless its a pre 70's.car where they were a separate external unit.
Hope this is helpful.

My air condition belt broke in my 2001 Tahoe how can I tell if Compressor or Pulley is bad without belt?

The test is a simple one, with engine off and cooled down test the pulleys by hand, turn them slowly in the direction of rotation and feel for a binding sound or feel, if you feel a noticable bind and noise your culprit is the pulley or the a/c compressor.
Test whatever else runs off this belt as well by doing the same test.

I have a loud engine noise--somewhat high pitch whine--except really loud and only after so many rpms. The noise happens when I am running my air conditioner. Ten to 15 miles after I first noticed the...

So when you turn off the air con the noise stops ..
If yes then its the bearings in the Air Con pump which is driven by the same belt and when turning the r13 coolant around the bearings being dry and worn out will start to make the noise Same as the water pump does when it goes, but yours is Air Con Pump.

Just replaced Serptine Belt now car making loud

It's not uncommon for a new belt to require re-tightening soon after it's been replaced. Check the belt for any excessive slack (shouldn't have more than 1/2 -3/4" ). A loose belt would be one possible cause for the loud noise you describe.
