RBob.
Any luck in measuring the incoming alternator air temperature that is used to cool the alternator?
Re: Need help with a CS-130 alternator form a 7.4 liter not charging
The saga continues……..
stop at my location AZ and my new ACDELCO alternator failed…..4 times 😬
Just to check to be sure I asked the manager to look up both the 91 Firebird and the C/K 2500 Chevy truck to be sure both use the same test cart adapter plug, both used the same plug.
Now to get an Amazon return started 🤦🏼
EDIT: And just because, I took it to two other parts stores to have it tested and it passed twice 💁

Alternator is charging!
Fixed the chassis ground wire from the negative cable to the firewall and added a 2 gauge ground from the pass. side head to the alternator and replacing the belt seems to have cured the squealing.
