I am just SOOO glad it didn't break anything inside the engine compartment.

Oh well. The truck made it home with no problems, shut off the A/C & Lights to make sure I didn't kill the battery. Gotta go by O'Reiley or NAPA tonight to get another.

Joys of an older vehicle.

That's no fun. Was it just the belt that was bad or did the bearing freeze up in your alternator? I've had that happen where the alternator no longer spins freely and causes the belt to break.

Hopefully it was just the belt though.
