My alternator refused to alternate any further last night.

Here we see the issue.

I don’t know about your alternator problem, but it looks like your turbo is missing a belt.

Didn’t know FTOs were turbocharged.

It looks like your belt failed to keep belting...

You threw a belt, too?

Indeed. It only ran for about ten minutes on the battery before the lights became so dim that I had to pull in.

And here I find out you threw a belt. I thought this whole post was just a vessel for a humblebrag to show off your new wireless alternator.

I had to limp mine the 10 km home in small sections because the serpentine belt drives the water pump on the Ford 4.6.

Expected seized alternator carnage, got thrown belt.

Also I think your engine bay has dandruff

Polishing compound for the headlights which got everywhere.

Ah! That makes sense. A weird spot to have something splash for sure.

They recommend opening up as it were so as to avoid having the polisher slip and start grinding the paintwork.
