Isn't the alternator fan & pully a one piece? If so, how can the fan shoot through the hood if it's still on the belt? If the belt went loose, wouldn't it just start whining and then quit while the fan & pully remain on the alt shaft? If it's the whole shaft that gets loose, try tightening it with an impact wrench or something

Well, last night it happenend again. Wham! there goes another one. So the question I have for you all is how do I stop this from happening??? Yes, I am using the same alternator which there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with. I think its some kind of resonsance thats killing it beucase a few days ago I heard this nasty noise coming from the front of the motor between 4000-4500 rpm. (sounds like a dead a/c clutch or bad alternator). Now with a new fan its gone. I am sure glad I was a cheap ass & hadn't bought a new hood cause I would have been pissed.
