Can you just trust that because we aren't looking over your shoulder standing next to you, that we will give you every possibility.The alternator is new, has only about 500 miles on it
The bearings are fine.
The volts are fine.
Other idlers, bearings are also new and smooth/ quiet.
Can you just trust me that it's making noise (a classic alternator whine), and I want to replace it with a good, high amp alternator and just need a recommendation?
I imagine the stator is partly bad, which will cause the specific noise I'm hearing. I haven't bothered to check amps, but with a likely partial bad stator, it's probably not making rated amps. It just doesn't matter--> it's noisy and I want to replace it.
60 year professional mechanic. Been out of it for a while. What's a good, high amp alternator option that will fit?
