If it doesn't fix it you might try power steering...I know it isn't on top but it is worth a shot at least checking to see if that is where it might be coming from

I did check the power steering pump pulley and also the fluid level. Everything seemed fine. The new pulley from GM is metal and much more sturdy than the plastic housing pulley that I removed today. GM must have figured it was flawed and improved on the design.Originally Posted by bluegtp91

Final Report...Problem cured.

I too have the whining sound coming from my alt. side. I figured it was the Tension pulleys so I got a new one from Autozone. I also replaced 3 pulleys and my S/C belt and all them came off easily.
However when I tried to take off the Tension Pulley from the Accessory side, it wouldn't budge. I didn't want to force it in fear of breaking it off. Does it come off with a simple 13mm bolt like the others? I'm only asking to make sure I don't damage it.
Thanks in advance!

ok....noise is back with a vengeance...It is definitely the alternator...It appears to be the rear bearings...I am going to replace it with an OEM from a buddy who works at GM.

Mine did the same thing! At first it was only there when the car got hot but after a while it started doing it constantly. I took the belt off and the alternator definately felt like the bearings where out.
