Alternator/generator/regulator Problems of Cadillac Escalade

While starting the vehicle there was a loud series of popping sounds followed by some smoke which came from under the hood. The engine was quickly turned off and the smoke cleared. The hood insulation shows a slightly damaged/stained/heat effected area above the alternator. The vehicle was subsequently restarted several times and has been checked by the dealer and no problems could be found or duplicated.
