I've searched the j-body website... to no avail. They don't have a tech area like IA does.

I've inspected the pulleys and everything looks okay except for the tensioner. Thanks for the assistance on getting the tensioner off. I'll have to try that (probably next weekend). I replaced the alt about 80k miles ago. Seems a little odd for the alt to cause that type of trouble. I don't think they go out sporadically like that, do they? As for a short, I've wondered that as well... However not everything that's going off and back on is on the same circuit and it's so random that it's hard to believe it could be a short.

Preferredduck.... I cannot sell it. I wouldn't get enough money out of it for as dependable as it's been to me. This is the first time in 195k miles it's had a major issue and I wouldn't get what it's worth to me out of it. I use it for my paper route. Saves me from having to destroy my teggie's interior with the trash that I clean out once a week from drinking coffee to help stay awake (I've spilled a couple times since the cup holder is crap in that car. I'd be angry if that happened to my teg) and all of the ink from the newspapers. It's also a lot easier to drive an auto than a stick on the paper route, since I roll papers while I'm driving.
