I had a AC line rapture, sprayed Freon all over the alternator Dodge quit running. Alternator eight-month-old. How do I clean it or do I need to buy a new alternator

Contact cleaner? Not sure. Freon may have just clogged it up. Generally will evaporate but if it left oil residue. The windings are coated in a thin waxy type enamel

Yeah I've dug out the receipts it's not that old matter of fact a few days after we put the AC in there I told him I said it's not cool enough it's leaking can you check everything over. He did and fill it back up and on our way I went. He's done a lot for that truck underneath the hood so I don't think I'm going to have a problem and the good news is he has a tow truck so he can come get it.

If he's done a lot, then he should know that cable-tying two hoses (that can rub together under vibration) is not acceptable in the automotive field. Either put sleeves on all the hoses in your picture (not just where you are pointing, but all of those hoses) or install two hose separators along that area. That is shoddy work, IMO.
