My father has a 1989 skylark, 2.5 L 4 cylinder engine. The alternator, starter and belts were all replaced. The high pitched squealing just started with the alternator and upon inspection I noticed the belt for the alternator is being chewed up. There is the black dust from the belt wearing all around the alternator and surronding areas. The belt snapped yesterday, put a new belt on adn drove from Mass to Penn and back. Same day upon return squealing is back and more wearing dust is noticed. There is no other electrical problems and I feel his mechanic is doing something drastically wrong with the repairs.
