I am guessing My alternator burned up the belts and melted them
The fan belt is melted and the alternator belt is melted and stretched.
Something made a noise under the hood and then there was smoke...I thought I was going to have a car on fire ........ Once the car stopped making the noise, and smoking I drove it home, about 10 blocks, by the time I got home, it looked like it was starting to overheat.....never got to the redline........I popped the hood and turned on the heater....and turned off the car...What do I need to check for damage to make sure I do not get stranded.
How hard will this job be?? For a newbie mechanic??
