[QUOTE="mike202, post: 594017, member: 17202"] sorry to hear about that, the alternator or generator throwing the belt off and breaking seems to be a recurring issue. There was a thread recently about the pulley wheel shattering on someones engine. I had a similar problem when the belt came off for no apparent reason,it was not broken, but the nut holding the pulley wheel halves on the generator came loose. I replaced the generator with a new bosch alternator, and I have had no problems since. (about 3 years I think) I believe the bearings had worn on the old generator was the cause. Interesting about the 1776 upgrade, did you go for a new engine or a rebuilt one, and does it drive a lot better now? [/QUOTE]
