Alternator Pulley
The pulley on my alternator is squealing damn near everytime i hit the gas and its really annoying and sounds terrible. Should i try and replace the pulley on it or just the whole alternator? The truck is a 2001 RAM 1500 Sport and from what i can tell its the factory Alternator.

yea i figured that would be the answer lol i did that already just wanted to know if it would benefit just doing the pulley but i think mine is sealed or cause more harm than good. Its just squealing at this point but its annoying as crap. Thanks Ramman BTW how do you like your skyjacker lift?

I found a local mechanic, who pulled the pulley, popped the bearings, ran down the street and came back with new bearings. I was back on the road in under 30 minutes.
Point is, maybe just change the bearings, lol?
--edit... I'm not talking about the pulley attached to the actual alternator

The ride is great. The springs are holding up well. I paint them once in a while to keep them red (I got the closeout red springs before they went to black) and I just replaced the original hydro shocks. Now with the M95s, the ride is waaaaaaaay better! Holy cow! So much softer. I couldn't believe how much stiffness was due to the water shocks. I highly recommend springing (ha!) for the gassers over hydros. I also only have a 3 leaf pack (some 1500s have 4) so adding another leaf put me where most trucks are for capacity in the bed. It helps with loads and doesn't squat too much. I also recommend the control arms (I did just lower) as they have poly bushings and grease zerks. Over all, it was a great purchase. Took one day to install with friends. Front took til lunch and rear til dinner. One if not the best mod I ever did. But now with all the bigger newer trucks, it just looks tiny. But it used to look lifted!
