Jeremiah, >From your description you have found the source of your problem. Tel-tale signs of damaged shaft bearings inside your alternator will usually begin as an occasional "winning" noise. The same situation applies to the AC pulley bearings. Temperature, humidity and electrical load will act upon a defective bearing and cause it to admit a winning noise that coincides with engine speed.

The whine seems to be coming from the alternator; To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
