High pitched noise

[Bad Brad]

Just got back from a nice trip, to Nashville, Tenn. drove my 95 viper, FUN FUN, 80 mph is about 1400 RPM good gas
mileage about 24. ***** in town, who cares. No issues, got home back to Florida I hear, a high pitch noise from the belt area, belt, bearings from a pully?? only 23,300 miles. any Ideas out there. Going in for a oil change and check up next
week. anyone else with this noise or issue, charging system seems good.

thanks Brad

I would guess tensioner, a new one isn't too badly priced. You could remove the belt and spin each pulley separately to see/feel any drag on the pulley bearings.

The problem isn't the low mileage, it's that your car is about 19 years old. I would check belt tensioner as mentioned above. I would also check belt, it might be on it's way out.

could be alternator bearings going out too. got a stethoscope?, a hose or something you could put your ear up to to pinpoint it?
