it sounds like somewhere in a harness something shorted. thats probly what's making the alternator squeak, is its trying to do so much work feeding a dead short somewhere. or maybe the alternators voltage regulator is toast, and it was putting out like 18 volts at 3000rpm? that'd cause something to melt
