Does anyone have a TSB #, date of issue, or anything that would narrow down a TSB for the the problem of a whining alternator upon startup during extreme cold temperatures.
It's been single digits the past few mornings, and mine whines like a tea-kettle at about 1800rpms until warm.
My dealer couldn't find a TSB. By the time I get the vehicle to them it is warm, and I don't trust that if I leave it over night that they will actually reproduce the problem anyway, regardless the temp tomorrow (I have already tried to get them to fix it).
Today they claimed they couldn't even find a TSB reporting the problem.
Any help?
P.S. I looked at a couple of online TSB databases and didn't find anything.
Thanks,
TJR
