Must be Bear time. Saw my first Black bear Saturday at 12 noon as it ran across the road about 50 feet in front of me. Very cool to finally see one :) I think I was still in Georgia at the time.

Looks like a log jam..someone with more time checked out your area and figured out they'd be number 1 and made the move..you know the drill..

Hopefully this will be another busy week and it won't matter.:)

I had one do that. On mine, the arm that goes up to the pulley itself snapped off, in violent fashion.

Depending on where and how it snapped, it may very well be the decoupler pulley on the alternator. That pulley should turn with a little resistance in one direction (the direction that turns the alternator coil) and freely in the other direction. If it doesn't turn freely, you're looking at a new alternator, too.

Ouch! Is there any preventative, or mileage to go by for replacement prior to that happening?

Not really....they sell a kit 2 pulleys and a tensioner plus belt...we are thinking to change them out maybe once a year or so....just as a preventative measure and cheap insurance...$155 for the kit...
