I am searching for Moparman's Alternator "noise" test article. Cant find where it is. I want to check and see if my alternator is 100% or not

 

Does Alt noise have to do with a bad diode? I saw a Alternator part on Larry Bs sight. (Diode pack / Rectifier Bridge for Deanso Alternator)

Is that "the fix" if your Alternator is making "noise"

 

I think I checked my alt a few years ago, before I replaced my TPS

I found a local Alternator/starter rebuild shop I stopped in at. Nice shop. He said to remove it and bring it in and he can thoroughly check it. He has the rectifier/diode pack if mine is bad. Ill have to wait till next week

 

Or if find a decent digital multimeter I will check it also
