its a 115 amp, the bearings are probably going out in the alternator if its noisy.
9 times of out 10 its the voltage regulator that is bad. |

Almost all the time it's the voltage regulator. The voltage regulator is a normal wear part on these cars. If you have the alternator out, pull the regulator and you'll see why. Here are some instructions.
Even if it were the alternator itself, you can have it rebuilt. Just check the yellow pages / Internet search for a starter/alternator rebuilder near where you live. The last alternator I had rebuilt cost me about $80 and it took 90 minutes. Although I have SERIOUIS doubts that anything except the regulator is bad. |
