my engine had a whine and it was the tensioner pulley, with the belt on i could move it a little side to side

 

I am almost thinking something along the lines of an alternator bearing.
Could be the fan clutch though...
Could be the tension pulley, and WD-40 might not cure that...

 

if you want to play you gotta pay... LOL
be gentle man.

 

laramie you are right alternator bearings are mad, any ideas on how to rebuild my old one, have talked to a couple of people they say to just buy new one, however I would like to say the $

 

Get a rebuilt one, not a new one.

 

In the big picture, it would probably be cheaper to just buy a rebuilt one from Oreilly's.

I didnt listen rebuilt it, having trouble please read alternator??
Thanks,
For all your help,
Ben

 

Can you clarify?
I think I get that you rebuilt it, and you are still having issues with it. But, I don't get the rest of that.....

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out.

At this point you can try replacing the alternator, or going to a shop to have it looked at.

 

It was the brushes, thanks everyone that helped.
