This could still be a bad alternator bearing or it could be a belt not tightening enough.

When tight and the Vanagon off, can you force the alternator to slip inside the belt?

Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.stir-plate.com www.towercooler.com www.kegkits.com www.grow-sun.com

Hi Volks! I've got an issue of burning up alternator belts? Pulleys are aligned and proper belt tension. Possible heavy load while charging? Alt spins freely with belt removed. Thanks!
