         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
