I have a 2006 Ram 1500 QC 5.7 Big Horn. The front bearing on my alternator is making a lot of noise. Is it possible to just replace the front bearing instead of the whole alternator? This seems more economically friendly.

Don't know if you had it replaced yet, but my alternator bearing started to go out I took it to a guy who rebuilds them and for $70 he changed the bearing and brushes. He said the brushes were almost gone. It had about 115,00 miles on it. Now I have a quite and happy alternator. I would of tried to change it myself but I didn't know if you needed a press and I wouldn't know how to replace the brushes.
