Hello Everyone,
I am a new member. Thanks for the opportunity to post a question.
My brother has a 9200i, 2005 Cummins ISX Engine ( International ). It has an intermittent squealing sound. When the problem starts to occur, a faint "bearing like" metallic shrill squeal begins during normal cruise. At this point, acceleration will result in an increasingly loud intensity of the noise. The problem ceases when releasing the throttle. Every time, without fail, when this problem occurs, the voltmeter ceases to indicate it's typical 13.5 V, immediately dropping to 12V. He has changed the main belt , which also drives the alternator as well as the associated belt tensioner. There was no change. His diesel tech changed the charged air cooler. Still, there was no change. Any ideas, suggestions or comments are much appreciated.
Thanks for any help ! My brother & I appreciate your thoughts.

Recently had same problems changed main belt no more voltage drop but there is still a sequel.
When I had the main belt off I also replaced the secondary belt and checked all belt tensioners.
They spun freely but once new belts were installed i still have a squeal but no voltage drops.
That was over 10000 miles ago and it still has the same squeal.Franklin Thomas Thanks this. -
When we solve the problem or have more information accordingly, we will gladly post our findings.
Thanks Again,

If his tech changed the CAC due to this squeal, stop using him. The truck squeals and voltage drops would lead me to believe it is either a belt (which was changed) or a bearing in the alternator itself. Just where I would start. He should carry a spare belt and alt anyway, IMO. If it is the alt, it will eventually get worse and he'll be able to tell for sure pretty easily. Just my 2 cents.

Lepton1, TripleSix and Franklin Thomas Thank this. -
Thinking its a belt/alternator issue. Are your pulleys worn? Could be that your alternator pulley is so worn that even a new belt won't grip. Another thing to check would be if your pulleys are correctly aligned IE parallel with each other and not offset.
Bakerman, Cottonmouth85, Franklin Thomas and 1 other person Thank this. -
Run it without the alternator belt, the truck should start and run without it. Should quickly narrow it down. Buy a mechanics stethoscope, really quick useful tracking down the causes of noises like pullies and bad bearings
