Over the past week or so I've started to notice a rattling/grinding noise on cold start that goes away after the engine warms up. Today I got out the stethoscope and listened for the source, and it seems to be coming from the alternator. I assume there's some crud in the bearings, but at this point I'm just guessing. I have another alternator laying around here somewhere, so I could swap it out and take a look. Anybody run into this before?
