screatching Alternator?
I got a low pitch screatching at idle and low rpms (may be at higher ones too but I cant hear it over the engine) sounds like it is coming from the alternator...or something in that area. Is that consistant with an alternator going...if so how much time do I have left. I am not getting any dimming of lights..and it starts easy...then again this is a new noise. Any Ideas?

MJ,remove the belt and spin the altenator pulley by hand to see if will squeal any at all. If not,remove it and take it to a parts store to let them spin it over.Also,check your other pulleys and tensioner. It could also be just a belt like Brian said.
