Well, first of all, new to this here forum! Anyways I recently replaced my fuel pump assembly in my 98gtp since the last one finally gave up at 164k miles (was fairly disapointed in it, considering my 1988 GMC c/k 1500 ext cab&bed made it to 789384 on mostly stock parts when the odometer stopped working... ... In 2004!)
in the process of the pump dying I think I may have over cranked it a bit to much (would start on ocassion and die within a minute) now that I got a new pump in and got moving again the alternator charges.
but after a bit I start to smell what reminds me of a vacuum set to damn high, electricity and melting rubber. The smoke happens less and less now (fourth day so far) when I let it idle a bit for testing. Anyone have any ideas on why it'd be doing such? Because I've yet to EVER see an alternator smoke, and still charge things fine. The belt seems as okay as one would expect for it's age, but no burn spots. Belt isn't over tightened from what I can tell either. On a side note though, my god that new fuel pump helped! It's back to throwing me into the rear seat.
Unfortunately at the moment I can't really do much testing on it tool wise. My tools keep "mysteriously" disappearing and a little empty in the wallet at the moment, so just thoughts an suggestions alone are appreciated
