ACK! New problem. This one is with my Motorola Alternator. No, it is not failing, in fact, its putting out more power today than ever before. But my problem comes the upper exhaust mount. Last night, I decided to go for a peaceful country cruse in the D. 4 hours of continuous driving and it ran spectacular, (also running on your fuel pump Stian). But right before I got home, I went over some bumpy railroad tracks. After doing so, I heard a horrid clanging metal sound from the engine. I go immediately home and check out the problem. Apparently, the upper mount for the muffler had broken apart (didn't you warn me about this Bruce?) and it had fallen onto the alternator, effectively bending one of the (cooling?) blades inward and it was striking the bolts sticking out of alternator case. Today, I removed the bracket and ordered a new one from Houston, and I also tried bending the blade back into position. I did this and it is no longer making noise, but the blade (just one of them) is very bent up all over. Right now, it is coming uncomfortably close to the belt, and I'm afraid that it is going to break it off sooner or later. So now here comes my question.... Do any of you have an old motorola alternator that they would be willing to take apart and sell me the blades that go on it? I really dont want to sink the money down for a whole new alternator right now, and would just like the blades that are behind the pulley. If anyone of you have this part they would be interested in selling, would you please contact me directly? (ultra'at'isd.net).
