So I think I got it figured out by now, but I'd still like a second opinion before I make my parts list ready, so far this forum's been the most helpful when it came to all my issues. So it sounds kind of like a worn alternator bearing, or wind whooshing by you. but it's not that. It's most...

Usually it's organized, until I need to work on something all day, then it's all thrown on piles afterwards.
