We've had a problem with our a/c for a while and can't figure it out. help please?

we have a 2002 chevy suburban and if we turn the a/c on and give it gas it makes the belt jump up and down and break. the clutch is good, the bearings are good, and it blows freezing cold air. the rattle happens when you take off, but when the gear shifts, the noise stops. but if you keep letting it rattle, the belt breaks.

As long as it doesn't go into red you are fine and it is normal . If it overheats again it might be faulty thermostat that keeps water circulation closed in the winter in order for engine to get warm faster . Maybe it is stuck from the rust and so water doesn't circulate through radiator . As long as it is not going into red do not worry about it .

Without looking at the car, my first thought is your alternator bearings failed, seized up causing the belt to overheat and break. The "hot ring thing" may be the alternator pulley.

You mentioned "belts" as a plural, more than one belt. So I would think that you don't have one serpentine belt that drives everything. But it's still possible that you have a idler pulley that has failed instead.

Yeah?
And?
Do you want it repaired?
Wouldn't it be easier to take it to a mechanic for repair, than to post an overly concise statement on the internet?
