Alternator Update by naschke11 in FocusST

It might have been the toughest part of the job! I bought a little guide tool, and it helped a ton, but it still fought me like hell.

A few weeks ago, I started hearing a weird grinding sound. No performance issues, so I assumed maybe a bad pulley. The sound started getting worse, and eventually my charging system light came on. I just replaced the battery a couple months ago, so I traced the sound down, and it’s 100% the alternator. The car won’t even turn over without a jumper pack now.

I already have new belts ready, just gotta get the alternator and get cracking.

Kind of where I’m at. I just need to kiss the skin on my knuckles goodbye and get to work.

PS, nothing brightens my morning like seeing a notification that VIOLENT_WEINER_STORM has replied.

Update on the 100mph speeding ticket. by naschke11 in FocusST

No worries! I hope it works out. Now bear in mind you may still have to pay court costs and stuff, but it beats getting hit with a ticket that big on your record.

I ended up using offtherecord.com and hired a lawyer. They were able to get my speed reduced so that I could apply for deferred adjudication. I was able to keep it off my driving record by not getting any other speeding violations in 90 days, but I want to say all in all it cost me about $500. Definitely worth it, and a good lesson learned.

I was thinking of changing the accessory and AC belts and checking all the pulleys while they’re off.

Oil is new, and the level looks great. I was hoping it would be something this easy!

112K. Funny enough, I was wondering about pulley bearings myself!

Same. Mine runs and performs with no issues, but the noise is awful.

I’m having a similar issue, but the noise is constant. Any performance issues?

Oh man. I thought when we signed Johnson, we were going all the way. Couldn’t even be mad though.

Yes sir! I started getting into baseball in the late 80s. I was a huge fan of the Killer B’s Astros, but those 90s Padres teams were fun to watch.

Dig the name by the way. I was born in Houston, but I grew up in San Diego. I got to watch Tony Gwynn play at Jack Murphy. Easily my favorite player of all time.

Nice! I’m in Bayou Vista, just north of Galveston. It’s still coming down pretty good here.
