Stormberlin, I forgot how much mechanics overcharge. Changing the belt can be a pain though, although it's probably optional.

Your conclusion that Fords suck is fine if you want to base it off of everyone else's experiences. But my point was that an alternator is a minor and common failure in every make of car. Even Hondas fry them occasionally. If you said that your car is constantly breaking down, then I wouldn't have said what I did .
I didn't mean to sounds harsh, I was just making a joke about the feeling I have that my car will give me trouble from now on Yeah, mechanics overcharge. The warranty people gave my mechanic grief because of the price (but they would have done that regardless) but he set em straight
