[QUOTE="Dan B, post: 1038021, member: 71978"] Off to work and I hear belt squeal, it gets louder and suddenly two loud thuds & then silence. I knew my belt was intact because I could still hear my PS pump whining away. I turn on my headlights and the belt squeal returned so I think it's my alternator that is malfunctioning. Turn off the lights and continue to work. On the way home I pick up a new alternator/belt. I go to install it and find what is pictured below. I had no idea how common this was until I researched it. I'm just happy it didn't take anything else out with it. I'm now waiting for a new balancer, I did replace the alternator because the old one wasn't generating enough voltage, my guess is it was dying and took the balancer out with it. [/QUOTE]
