Ok so I woke up on this particularly cold morning, hit the autostart to let the car warm up as i walked outta the house i hear an intense whistling noise. Im like damn my s/c doesn't sound that loud and the rpms are kinda struggling, pull out of driveway the bish starts smoking, i go uh-oh i bet my s/c belt ripped(no surprise its been running with a rib shredded for almost a year now). Pop the hood, find out its not the s/c belt because its still intact, so I back my car back in the driveway, the noise stops the smoke dissappears and the car sounds normal again. I didn't take any chances and had my roommate drive me to school for my last final exam but when I go home I have to attack this problem, do you think something was just rubbing on the belt or the belt just popped off alignment? Shouldn't there be more wear and tear, I mean the thing was really smoking!

 

could be your alternator frying....

 

You mean smoke was coming from the engine compartment?

 

Wait till you get home and look at it. don't try to assume anything at this point.

 

Already fried my alternator almost 2 years ago and it was replaced under warranty because it was defective.

Matt- I think that's what I'm gonna have to do but obviously its prying at my brain what could've caused this. Severe temp changes? I guess i'll just pop the passenger front wheel off when i get home and check all the belts to see what the disfunctionality is.

 

Just got back home, sure enough it was the s/c belt, bish snapped right off, and it was a gatorback too!

 

ouch, good luck with that one

 

Thanx, right before I have to go home for the holidays too!

 

that really sux to hear man, good luck with it.
I see your from maplewood, I am from wayne let me know if ya need help.

 

dam dawg, lol, funny how sh*t happens when u really need to depend on the car...my life story....good to see u coming back to Maplewood

 

Take a swig and get to work

 

Got my emergency belt today, getting a stock belt tomorrow think I'm just gonna rock that till I get back to NJ? Car is getting towed in the morning to my friends shop and I'll be getting down and dirty and deciding whether or not to hook the s/c back up immediately.

 

gotta boost in the snow, c'mon now

 

and drive that snow plow through those big Jersey snow drifts
