Screeching sound from engine area!
Ok so I have a wierd screeching sound coming frOm under my hood, I did the 3G upgrade and it was making a slight screech then it would go away. Now it's loud as hell and won't go away and get louder when I get on the gas. However it goes completely aaway when I take the negative cable off the battery!?!?!? HELP!!!!

I would say you should also load test your battery, sounds like it is drawing a lot of load from your alt., very possible it is fine but could possibly have an internal problem.
I have a 94 Mustang with a 460 swapped in but I retained the original Alt. and serpentine belt, it also squeals when first started but goes away after a couple of seconds.

I only have a single belt pulley though, you have a part number for a double from autozone or oriellys? What else what I need to change besides that? Freaking casing is so big it wedges between the motor and the bar that goes to the top bolt. Really tight fit
