@pat white I knew the belt needed replaced, was trying to work out some other odd ball issues I was having with the car first. Figured it would have held on in the mean time, but it didn't. Took a chance, went against my better judgment, and took an L this go around. So back to square one unfortunately, it can only get better from here!
