Hey Lee, in regard to your radiator question. My 2000 Sport SOHC 4.0 OEM radiator was single row. I replaced it with the same. Like yours mine only has a bumper hitch. The tubes on these radiators are wide. 1" If I recall.. the older radiators had 2 or 3 rows of tubes that measured about 3/8 inch. That alternator.. Mine made a little groaning noise and that was it.. No other warning before that. The bearing shaft moved back and the pulley seized against the alternator housing. Good job on the video.

Hard to say without being there
If it's working then leave it alone
Test it ..

Buy the parts and rebuild it that's what I'd do
