oreilly's alternator up in smoke.....

well i installed a new reman ( life time warranty ) alternator on my truck. 2 1/2 weeks go by then this mornning i went to go to the shop and when i cranked the engine the belts squeeled. i thought those are double belts, brand new. so i thought i,d tighten em up when i get to shop. well about 1 mile frm home my alt. gauge pegs out to max charge then i smelled something. so i hit the side of the road and opened the hood and the front of the alt. was white as snow and had smoke comming from it. i unpluged the alt. & drove on the the shop, pulled it off and took it back to oreilly's. they put it on the test machine and it barely started to run and a big RED light came on and said DEFECTIVE . SO HE GAVE ME A NEW alt. guess eveybody has bad parts from time to time. no back on with it. sure hope it didnt hurt my gauge as it sure pegged it had and fast.
