The WEEEE sound FIXED!!!

As some of you know, I was crying about that weeeeeing sound coming from my engine. I found out that it was the alternator!
They had a recall so I changed it. Car feels more powerful and very quiet! Just wanted to share since I know other people were having the same problems

Where's Sprinty and that link? And those pics of his car and Supermachoman's car? Sexima now that I think about it, most alternators do make a high-pitched whee sound when they go bad.
