I'm Awesome
so on my 89 k1500 5.7 i have been going through alot of alternators. i first replaced my alternator (stock one) because the bearing in it started chirping and it started not to charge as well as it should.. then i go to auto zone and get the 1yr replacement 105amp alternator and a new belt and put it on my truck, the chirping is gone and all is good. well 3 days later the chirping comes back to the point where i cant stand it so i take the alternator back off and take it to autozone to have it switched for a new one.. the guy puts it on the machine and checks it and it checks out bad already then he switches me for the same type alternator and i take it home and put it on.. so after i install its quite again with no chirping and all is well... well the next morning it starts chirping every now and then so i know its about to start again and sure enough by lunch its chirping bad again... so i take it back to autozone again and the guy behind the counter says well the 1yr replacement is not as good as the life time replacement.. so he gives me the life time replacement and i pay the difference. well i put it on my truck and it starts chirping with in 3 minutes of the install, its now two days later and its squeeling horrible... what the heck is up with my truck?
i know its the bearing in the alternators because when you remove and spin by hand the alternator squeeks... i just dont understand this at all.. is somthing wrong with my brackets causing it to wear quickly (it looks like its inline with everything else though)
