Rebuild kits are about $15 online amazon or ebay. I try to keep one on hand for my truck.
double check for something leaking and causing a slipping belt. I had that happen with a failing power steering hose peeing on the belt/pulley.
Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.
I checked the belt and all connections including battery terminals first. All are good.
I did hook up a battery charger to the battery for a few hours and it charged right up. Then I did the old "remove the negative cable while the engine is running" and the engine cut off instantly. Appears to be the alternator, so I removed it. Kinda grinds a bit when spinning.
Now I'm searching for a place to get a Motorcraft alternator in Denver tomorrow without having to donate a kidney. I'd rather a good Motorcraft than a crappy re-manufactured one from Autozone or something. Any leads (besides the obvious stealerships)?
generator exchange - they can rebuild it or have one already done. Approximately 44th and Federal... i think they are still around. Old school repair shop.

^^^^ +1 for those guys
Cool. I'll be stopping in there tomorrow. Thanks!
I'm heading out to get this alternator this morning.
So, new NAPA Electrical or re-manufactured Motorcraft from the dealership? I'm leaning Motorcraft. Same price within a few bucks.
What is the warranty on them? Personally I tend to go with Napa, but mostly because there is a store close to my house.
With napa you have the advantage of taking it back to any store
