Our alternator is making a chirping noise. I would like a diagram of how to replace it.

You do not need a diagram. The alternator is connected to the van in 6 places...the belt, the electrical connector on the back (nut under a dust boot), a ground wire to the chasis, an electrical connector, and 2 mounting bolts. If you take all 6 out in the order I just did, you will have your alternator at hand in less than 30 min. To put the new one in is the same procedure backwards.
