Luckily the fan blades were only bent in the area where it was hitting the center bolt on the added 12 volt alternator as the blades were spinning with the angled area toward the bolt and not the stiff 90 degree end.
So it was the cooling fan and it was hitting the bolt from the alternator as the bolt from the water pump housing sheered off and the alternator is leaning slightly into the fan. We used a red wire to feel if the bolt was still in the housing and it is so we will have to replace the housing
We are going to look at it tonight and I will report back and no this was like a quiet normal ride to a loud obnoxious grinding type sound the whole 2.5 miles back at 20-30 mph because if you went over that the noise got increasingly louder and we never heard that noise before. Checked the tac...

After a long time, we finally got time to take the deuce apart a little more, I got some pictures of the turbo, the air filter and can and the smoke without the air filter and with the air filter back in. We are thinking if we replace the air filter it will help but we are still looking for more...
I was going by what I was being told, I only got pictures sent to me of the turbo on the deuce a few months ago. Maybe it does have 6, I have never seen the inside of the engine compartment personally. It does look like someone said the link I shared will fit the stock engine and thank-you for...
