*shrug* it's a diesel. let it idle.

EDIT: I have no idea what the belt layout is in that thing. If it's fraying the same belt that's running the water pump, or something, then that's a very BAD idea and I never suggested it. If the alt can be disabled without killing anything else important, then just pull that belt off and go with it.
