that's good to know

today I was driving the ol' dodge for work and stopped and got some fuel and checked the oil. I noticed that the fan belt was shredded on one rib. The alternator had the wrong pulley on it even though it was fairly new.

So I drove home (about 25 miles) and while I was driving I could hear the fan belt clinking against the fan and other things, but I pressed on and made it home.

Upon inspection that rib of the belt had clearance itself and was not sitting nicely in the alternator pulley. But I knew it was damaged and not correct, so I picked up a new alternator and fan belt (know one could get me just the pulley ) So I'll keep driving it tomorrow
