Default squeaky a/c clutch pulley

I have a kinda loud pulley squeaks from what seems like the a/c clutch pulley. Also the a/c blow cold for only about 15 mins , then just fades out. can anyone give me some advice? does it sound like both the pulley and the compressor?

Look a little closer, with a stethoscope. It might be the tensioner going haywire. If so, go with the Dayco unit.

Not a mechanic here but I assume you'd hear some sort of change in the squeal when the A/C is on vs when it is not.

As for the 15 minutes of a/c time... I had a similar problem in my jeep a couple years ago. I recharged it with one of the kits you can buy from almost any parts/department store.
