changing alternator

[ryota]

I just came across this as I was looking for some info (and yes I used the search function :-)). I figured I would update, the new refurbished alt is in and the bearing sound has come back. The mechanic that installed it told me to change the belt too since that could also be the noise. at any rate, I'm not getting rid of my old alt yet.

As far as the radio, still cuts out from time to time. The other day I went to go look at somethign and the whole plastic top/display of my capacitor popped off since the whole thing sheered off both posts... so I'll be redoing my entire radio in the very near future. starting with a new head unit instead of the stock on since I would like to use some rca cables this time. Also, a new cap will be put in and all new wiring. For safety reasons I'm not diagnosing anything, just redoing the whole thing on the next warm couple days.
