alt not squealing anymore...
so my alternator belt had been slipping a lot over the last month esp in very cold weather. i tightened it as hard as i could (a couple of times) and it didn't seem to be helping.... belt looks brand new (bought car in july '07) and alternator was charging fine except of course when the belt was slipping. anyway... i sent some wd40 down by the drive wheel on the alternator and let it rev for a bit and i haven't heard from it in three days now. cool! (i hope...) not sure if this would be ridiculously obvious to all of you but i didn't see anything in old threads so i thought i'd post it for people like me, even if it only delays the inevitable. (i'll post if it dies) anyone think i should use (ahem) better lube (ahem) down there? (go easy, lads)
