Hey John,

Thanks for the input.

NO AC on my truck, so that's one less thing to work about! Mine is the super stripped down model. No extended cab, no AC, nothing.

I actually think an alignment would help my fuel economy as well.

I did have my alternator belt break on my old Geo/Chevy Spectrum years back.

I was driving down to a class when it happened. I just had to get to the campus on time, so I couldn't stop anywhere. I drove home afterwards. By the time I got home, the battery was almost dead, but I must have driven 50 miles on it since the belt broke, restarted the car when leaving the campus, and it started raining on the way home!

The car DID run great, though, without an alternator belt!
Too bad the S10 uses a serpertine instead of a seperate alternator belt!
