I've been meaning to post this; did the actual repair last fall.

Front end whine or whirr had been evident since the Aug 11th flood (water level was at the door sills). Every pulley/bearing I took off had a dry/rough sound and feel to it, but the ultimate noise culprit was the A/C compressor clutch pulley bearing.

Duralast idler 231095 $13.99 (2 required)
Goodyear Gatorback belt 4060980 $10.15
ToughOne alternator P8314 $169.99

Notes:
- Advance Auto took the old alternator core without any mention of the fancy Bosch pulley.
- The field coil snap ring made me want to throw tools :mad2:
