Thumbs up Thanks all Not stranded anymore

Hi I wrote yesterday, That my batt. wasn't charging. Took it to a shop, They found out
why in 1/2 a nano second, So did I (in the daylight) The people that replaced the
alt. belt put the smog pump to run soley of the alt. The belt's were so loose I am
surprized they didn't just fall off. They installed 2 bolts and tightned the belts.
I still have to get replacement belts, But it won't be that hard to install them. At least
the alt. is charging the new $100.00 battery!

Glad it was something simple, but just so you know, that is the proper routing for the belts. Both of my 460 trucks are like that, one belt connecting the alt. and both smog pumps.
