Hi group, after replacing MANY alt brackets I have come to the conclusion it was the harmonic balancer was not true! this caused undue harmonics and vibration on the alternator unfortunately I caught it after the warranty.

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,.... Weren't all the broken brackets under warranty,..??

If so, there should be a paper trail leadin' to the Unfixed issue, that's been Bad since durin' the warranty,....

A few phone calls oughta get it Fixed, Right,...
