what have you wrenched on your bronco(s) today? - jdowns67 - 10-01-2014
Chuzie, Why don't you just take the alternator over to a rebuilder? The should be able to knock it out in an hour.

I considered that. Even called four local rebuilders. Nobody seemed interested in helping. Pretty sad. I suppose business must be that good. Once place that is a dedicated alternator rebuilder told me his alternator guy was gone until next week! WTFE! I bench tested it and didn't hear anything and the output was great. Gotta be a bearing somewhere else. Changed the tensioner too and no dice. The search continues.
Got the radiator repaired though. $40. Back on the road now just with that annoying sound. I don't mind taking it to Tellico that way, just not my preference.

Don't know if you are running a 3G or what but they are not that big a deal to break open and change the bearings. Maybe they would sell you the bearings? Might as well replace the brushes too while you're in there.

Good point. I have never dorked around with breaking open an alternator but I'm always game to try new things.

Today? I don't want to talk about it. Maybe tomorrow. Not good.

Found the bearing sound coming from water pump so swapped it out.
The radiator repair didn't hold so $700 Ron Davis radiator is trash. Ordered a champion which should arrive Thursday just in time for Tellico.
Oh wait, Uncle Sam screwed me by tacking Liberia onto my mission which extends me through the weekend so unless a miracle happens, no Tellico for me.
