Thanks for the responses guys. I know it is the alt belt because when I take it off its nice and quiet, I assume it does this with the heater on becuase there is more load on the alt, It will also do it with the lights on.

Pig rig, If I look at the belt from the alt down to the crank pulley I can see that its off, But it is inline with the water pump, thats why I was curious about getting a shorter belt and just running it around the alt and water pump. Would this work?

Also the belt with could be an issue I guess the pulley that was on the new alternator that I got was a little skinny. I'll post up some pics.
