post thanksgiving problem. i was driving back from dinner and my battery light came on and then the steering wasnt turning easily. i started hearing some noises, so i pulled over to shut off my car. i let it cool for a few minutes, checked around and then cranked it up. while i was driving, my temp needle was going up to red . shut it off then cranked it up. i drove approx miles and then my belt snapped. finally i shut it off. there was coolant that splashed out a bit. i called a tow truck. now i figuring acoarse the problem most likely my belt. im hoping that its not the headgasket since i didnt drive a certain distance. any input or experiences ?
