       Marshall, it's the infamous Vanagon belt squeal !  Check the tension & 
condition of your alternator belt !  Try some belt dressing but in my 
experience the only real cure is to dig down in your pockets and buy a new 
QUALITY alternator belt.  Been there done that too many times !
       BTW, I hope you enjoy your new sink drain that you beat me out off on 
the eBay auction. (:-)
