The bottom bolt that holds the alternator on is too long to be able to remove it from the holed. It hits the engine bay frame or sub Frame. Or. Something before I can back it all the way out. Can't remove the alternator if I can't remove the mounting bolt. None of this should be that difficult.

Alternator is out. Spins perfectly freely with no issues or noise. I'm really at a loss. I just wanna race sunday
Alternator is fine according to the starter and alternator shop. He suggested my battery isn't holding as much power as it should which could cause the alternator pulley to slip or something. I don't have issues starting it or anything, it always cranks over. I guess I'll tackle that tomorrow. If anyone wants to drive up to Argyle tomorrow morning I'll buy you beer and steak. I really don't know what the issue is
Put it all back together. Same thing as first post. Seriously someone PM if you're free To help tomorrow morning.
Have you tried it with both your new and old belt? Is the pulley alignment good? What kinda belt do you have for a replacement.
I'd hop by to look at it, but I'm out of Dallas at the moment.

Whelp, I guess I had it tight enough to squeal but not enough to have proper tension. I tightened the crap out it. It runs fine now. No squeal. No heat. Way tighter than I thought it should be but that was the last thing to try after reading online. Feel kinda foolish but hey, I didn't know it should be that tight. Anyways, thanks all. There's no heat at the bearing or the belt now.
Good work!
Good to know it's a simple fix. :)
Dang ,now I wish I would've taken you up on the steak and beer offerOriginally Posted by Yamahaman444
