Update:

Why did you eliminate the overcharge
It's right there. 16.something is too high. It happened don't ignore it or you will get unpleasant surprises. What richkid said but don't leave off voltage regulator.
Good luck.

Diffs and Trans Fluid
Others will argue NO. I have changed mine 3 times now at 270000 miles. Use only the correct replacement not a equivalent. Good luck.

Not a mechanic but;
Is not the belt tension determined by a tensioner pulley?
Wouldn't 110k more likely be the cause?

Is the replacement part the same material as original (which will peel)? I need to do this also.

Hard to believe you need a rebuild with low miles. I know nothing of Vancouver.
Was there a symptom before the fluid change?
Who changed the fluid?

Evidence
See if you can find out the dealer's diagnosis. Such as debris in the pan, or codes, or what. They are probably right, but my 06 did the same thing at about 170k miles. Dealer found my alternator...
