then this December i replaced the Alt. bearings were bad on it too. now keep in mind when I got the car in 2007 is was too rough shape and had 60K miles. but it is possible your pump or Alt bearings might be going bad too

Thanks to all for the advice.
The noise is really not that bad, I just am trying to get the car ready for the gathering. Long ride from NY to BG, don't want any problems. I may change out the tensioner, I see one from Partsladi on E-Bay for $149.00. Is this about the right priice for one? They claim they are OEM GM and not reproductions.
I am going to pull the alternator and can have it bench checked, maybe if it is a bearing it will show up. Maybe I should pack a WP for the trip to BG???
New FIC injectors, oil cooler lines and I may try to pull the shroud and see if there is debris in between the radiator and condensor. Any hints on doing that?
Thanks in advance, John
