Thanks...I thought it might have something to do with noise reduction (static).

Now if I could just have an answer to whether or not my alternator attaches with a necessary bushing. By the way...Rusty at BuyMBP informs me that the replacement alternators now come with a smaller sized housing hole for mounting. If that's so, isn't the alternator subject to some "play" when attached to the engine mounting?

Also, why might my alternator be burning up quickly? Should I be leaning toward a power surge taking it out due to an open or expose wire some where, or some other cause?

Any ideas to suggest would be appreciated. I'm a novice at this and will probably take it to someone who specializes in auto electric, but I'd like to have some idea myself so I don't sound totally ignorant when discussing this. Do you think I should take it to a MB dealer service department?
Thanks for any podering and replies
