It must be the season for alternators. Been using the Donkey regularly and now the alternator is howling at the engines upper RPM range during acceleration and at 50 mph and above. Now acceleration and 50+,mph are really subjective for a 3-liter B diesel.
I move the key to the off position (motor still runs of course) and there is no load on the alternator and the howl disappears. That's nice but of course turn signals, lights and horn are now non-functional.
I need to either replace or rebuild. Enclosed is the photo of it and I can't make out the part number AND I've not seen a hook up to an alternator that dives inside like this before.
Help!!!!!!
