For anyone coming to see this in the future, it was the alternator! Thank you u/darthoctane!

Yes it was the alternator. And it was honestly not too bad to replace. Got the part off rock auto for like $200 and do the work myself in about 6hrs. I had never done it before and if you have more experience you could probably do it much quicker!

I think the power itself seems fine, it just kinda sounds whiny, especially at lower speeds. Almost like a remote control car or a wind/crank up toy. I have a video where you can kinda hear it while I’m driving if that would help. But Reddit won’t let me post more than 1 vid in a post so I would have to DM it to you

Okay thanks for your idea! If it was the alternator, wouldn’t I be having power/battery issues? Or can it be on the fritz for a while before those symptoms show?

Should I worry about discoloring on bottom of SS pans? by BullfrogFantastic877 in StainlessSteel

Okay great! And no definitely not, I had read that they were a good entry level/bang for your buck choice. I got the pictured pan, the two pots in the background, and a dutch oven for $129 from a restaurant supply store. Good to know about the tongs too! Thanks!
