This could still be a bad alternator bearing or it could be a belt not
tightening enough.

When tight and the Vanagon off, can you force the alternator to slip inside
the belt?

Thanks, Tom Hargrave

Subject: Alternator belt burning up?

Hi Volks! I've got an issue of burning up alternator belts? Pulleys are
aligned and proper belt tension. Possible heavy load while charging? Alt
spins freely with belt removed. Thanks!
