The alternator had a bad bearing and was making a lot of noise, it was charging fine. I haven't run the car since I replaced the alternator since I've been waiting to get a replacement capacitor and also get my A/C back together since it is apart waiting on a new compressor.

I can't tell from my picture of the original alternator if the funny u is a u or a p. I am aware of the mfd vs pfd relationship, I just didn't know which was on the alternator. If I were a betting man I'd put my money on the 2.2 mfd cap.

Thanks for the reply. Guess I'll be running to our electronics store to get a 2.2mfd 110v capacitor.

Thanks again,
