Ryan, not sure if this is the case with yours but what happens so very often
is that over tightening of the alternator belt creates too much tension and
the bearings wear quickly, screwing up the armature. Do not ask me how I
know this and if have personal experience! The grooves of the pulley's are
so deep that the V belts has a lot of surface contact. With all that surface
contact there is no need to have much tension on the belt. Check your
Bentley or Haynes manual.
