Hi,
I agree with Chris and Joe..the belt is not
transmitting the load through the alternator..A way to
test this theory..a "hands on" aproach, is to let the
engine make its' noise for a minute at
idle..Then,..and this is the delicate part of the
test..touch the alternator pulley with the engine
OFF..It will be HOT! if the belt is slipping over the
pulley...I have experienced the WAIL of a slipping
belt before..and a HOT! pulley is always the result.
