they might be too tight or too loose. But if you want to know if its your alternator or any kind of pulley, get a long piece of metal ( or long screwdriver and put in ton the center bolt on the pulley?alt/ whatever when its running, you will know if your alternator is crap when you put your ear on the screwdriver.
