Well guys , one thing I left out in my first post about my dilemma was when I changed the alternator and battery I fired up the car and I heard a horrible squealing
Noise coming from the alternator and the unit itself got very hot to the touch after about 1 minute so at first I thought maybe the belt was too tight but that's hard to do with a serpentine belt so for a second I thought the pulley between the AC , and the alternator was the cause so I took the alternator out and spun the pulley and no noise!!! So when the RPMs are up before I go into 2nd gear the noise is loudest and so on with the next shift luckily I'm taking the alternator back and getting another so anybody out there please give me advice on what brand of alternator,how many amps also the pulley btw the bearings sound shot and this piece of crap was made in Mexico and said AC DELCO on the casting go figure!!!! Please friends give me your honest opinions,I'm not a mechanic but I know this car like no other car I've owned I just can't figure this out April is here and the kirban BBQ get together is soon and I can't miss it this year thank you guys peace,chris
