Marshall, it's the infamous Vanagon belt squeal ! Check the tension & condition of your alternator belt ! Try some belt dressing but in my experience the only real cure is to dig down in your pockets and buy a new QUALITY alternator belt. Been there done that too many times ! BTW, I hope you enjoy your new sink drain that you beat me out off on the eBay auction. (:-)

Cheers
