November Update, For What It’s Worth.
The “battery” symbol continued to intermittently illuminate when my daughter was using the car to get to and from high school (“Zero Hour” class at 7:00 a.m.). I grounded the car and she had to catch rides.
I finally got on the ground and put a wrench on the alternator pulley nut and it did not slip in the belt . . . darn.
$75 later, after new brushes, commutator ring, and the new Dayco “W” serpentine belt, it’s been percolating without incident. By the way, that belt seems to be a fine piece of equipment and wasn’t much mose expensive than a regular one, about $20 at Advance.
