ok.. find another topic that needs addressing before my long trip.

Loose alternator. I had been researching this topic earlier and from this info it appears I have a stock setup. There is a long nut (looks like a threaded rod coupler) that you tighten and this appears to me to slide the bottom of the alternator outward on a track. This in effect I guess swings the alternator bottom outward pulling the belts snug.

Ok.... did that... , rattle went away...... 30 mins. later rattle is back and the thing is loose again.

soooooo question is is their something I'm suppose to tighten down to snug the alternator in position after using the long nut to get the belts tight?

thanks in advance for any help and Mucho thanks for all the previous help.
