Also got the alternator and power steering belts on so now it can run and cool and steer. Next is to tune the carb, bleed the coolant, set the timing, and let the engine flush work

Day:

- cleaned mouldy powerless fridge with boiled hand fetched water

- replaced old fan belt so alternator can oomf struggling batteries

- bought clamp meter to see what’s being charged well/not

- ditched infinite scrap metal/trash

- caught a local community farm meeting and offered free trees

I’d say the alternator is dead too.

Had to take out the whole alternator mount but I won.

Vent sketchdump.

Car alternator seems to have broke today, which means no more car. Cool.

Need a new car battery but at least it’s not my starter or alternator like I originally thought

The alternator died at a gas station in rural Texas at 1am, but of course, I had a spare alternator with me (as one does) so I swapped it out in 15 minutes with the tools that I also had with me and then simply kept driving.

my body is like a car with a bad alternator

I have an alternator coming the 12th! That is the most immediate need! I still need help with labor costs and front/rear brakes and rotors!
I will need struts all around too, but they are not as immediate!

Absolutely true but my 12 year old Merc just made me spend $3700 after a turbo line oil leak and alternator went out, so we aren’t talking right now.

I don't want to know the answer. I'm not ready to find out.
But I do know how to change an alternator and fit new brake calipers on my truck.

Bought three replacement parts for one of my tractors and combine today. An alternator (traded the core) made in China, solenoid made in Mexico, and combine air filter made in Germany. All for my red, CaseIH machinery.

Car update, both battery and alternator killed each other so ✨️ thats a repair cost to deal with another time 😂

my alternator generates AC current which is turned into DC current to be stored in my battery which is turned into AC current by my inverter so i can feed it into a seperate battery which turns it back into DC so i can turn it back to AC to plug in my AA charger that turns it back into DC. efficient

There are no garages in our neighboring communities, I do some backyard mechanical stuff, but I really need a hoist to get underneath. Instead, I have a raised ramp, down by my apple trees, that I can lay under to change an alternator or patch a muffler. The ocean puddle, is the spot I lay in.

Decided to just leave the alternator for now. I’ve got a spare but this one is the OEM Bosch unit and still doing its job.

Belt changed and engine running fine now. 👍🏻

Alternator belt on the 940 decided to relocate itself on a whim recently. Not even sure how.

I could just replace the belt but as a preemptive bit of maintenance I got a new alternator as well.

Also a new “door keeper opener” for the 850 arrived so I guess this is what I’m doing this weekend.

Elrod's Mule Barn Icehouse & Alternator Shop

he got a look on his face
as if he were consternated
by the fact that I didn't understand

then he got blood in his eye

& shot me with a rubber band

as I waved jury duty bye bye

Yeah, it's the weekly treat that keeps me down. Not my alternator breaking and taking my battery with it, costing me a grand if I want to use my car. It's Cinnabon.
“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

Got a call from the mechanic and it's confirmed to be the alternator and another smaller thing that needs replacing. I've been quoted $600, which is very close to my estimated amount. (Woo...?) I've adjusted the goal accordingly.

Not great, but could've been a hell of a lot worse XP
Quick google of how much a new atlernator for my car costs in my area with installation, and made a goal on ko-fi. That way I have a goal to shoot for and can stop freaking out about it.

Not gonna lie, It's a blow. We very much didn't need this right now. But could be worse.

Worst Halloween Ever. Had no costume, no parties, no kids. Planned to work but got in a fender bender instead and knocked the car I just had fixed (alternator) out of commission (radiator).
November 1, 2025 at 5:16 AM
Yeah the alternator is definitely fucked, idk why it suddenly stopped working ._.

This is getting sooo tired, really wanted to have a good summer but dealt with several repairs throughout and now this for autumn. Ugh
