After my 8 rib pulley install, ive always had this wierd groaning/whirring sound. It got louder and louder. It sounded like the power steering pump except it would be coming from the top of the engine and sounded like from the alternator. Inside when i would accelerate, i would get this really really high pitched whine that would fluctuate with rpms.
Last nite, the groaing was really loud where i knew something wasnt right and was on its last leg. I pulled into a gas station and ran in with the car running, when i got back in, my girl said all of a sudden the radio died. I look at the dash/console and all the lights were getting really really dim and the headlights started dying. My ABS light was on for some wierd reason. I limp it a couple blocks home and put it in the garage and roll up the windows, and they are as slow as can be. Shut down the car and try to restart and dead, just clicking sounds.
Any advice on where i should start and what to check first? How do you test an alternator since i cant really take it in without towing it? I'm just confused why the abs light was on and not the battery light.
