I keep having this reoccurring problem of my alternator pulley nut falling off. Not sure if anyone has the same problem. I put it on tight this time with some lock tight. See if it works

No, has not fell off yet. But I always use a impact gun for nuts on a shaft that rotates.

If you go with the jam but you need to install a thing nut first and then a thicker nut. Two nuts of the same width offer no additional locking.

The only effective lock washer is the wedge lock style.

Adding spacers to increase grip length helps.

Are you using a torque wrench?

The nut is still tight. I did notice that the nut/alternator spin freely in one direction. When I try to spin in the other it does not.

Not sure if that is how it is supposed to work?
