Ok guys I have been hearing a rattle that I initially thought was the timeline chain rattle however it was coming from the front on the left ( as you look from the front of the truck) so I bought a stethoscope and had a listen to the engine around the tensioner's and on them. Ther wasn't any abnormal noises so I listen to the housing around the serpentine belt alternator, idler pulley, tensioner, PSP water pump! I found that the idle pulley was let's say really noisy however the alternator did put out a noise but the best way to describe it would be electrical mechanical?
I have run the engine with out the aux connected and there is defiantly no chain noise. I am unsure weather to change / overhaul the alternator? Anyone in the UK had any experience with this one?
