Re: Alternator Question

1. no, it should not get that hot. It might get warm, but shold not burn your hand to touch it.

2. unless the belt is on wrong, or the alternator has the wrong pulley on it, the belt should not be any tighter. I would think it may be routed improperly

3. new alternators can give off odd odors, but if it continues for more than a couple days, check it out.

4. The idler, tensioner, a/c compressor, p/s pump, water pump, and alternator should turn by hand, the crank pulley should not.
