well, I don't believe it is the alternator, as that was replaced under esp at 70,000, I did however notice that the alternator is missing a cap over the bearings, at least I think there should be a cap. But the bearings look clean. I checked all of the belts and none of them seem worn.

Also,I am almost positive it is not moosing.

thanks again
