Squeeling V belt and CVF alternator
Anyone running a CVF high amp alternator and have had problems with the alt belt squeeling??
Long story short, I did the MAD ammeter bypass and switched to electric fans and put a new CVF high amp alternator and have really had belt problems ever since. I've tried the gates 7470 and the dayco 15475 with no luck getting them not to squeak. Recently I had a gates 7470 last about 25 miles before it started squeeling. It's a 360 with no AC. I've tried unhooking the charge wire to see if it's the load causing it to drag but it dosent seem to make a difference.
At idle with the electric fans, fuel pump, msd, headlights on, and radio, it's showing about 55amps with amp clamp on alternator charge wire. The alternator pulley and water pump pulley seem to spin fine with no drag and everything is aligned with a straightedge and has to be near perfect. Any ideas or similar experiences? I talked to CVF briefly and they said their alternator pulley "should" work with OEM pulleys.
