I picked 'er up from the dealership this evening. It was after 5, so no mechanics were there, only the cashier. Altenator was replaced under warranty, but I had to pay a $55 charge to have it overnighted...not complaining.
Within two miles down the road it overheated, had to let it cool and drive it back to the dealership. I can only suppose they didn't hook something back right with the water pump. The radiator's clean, and I didn't have this problem before. (Used to it, always have to go back once or twice to get them to do it right- last time, they forgot a bolt and didn't fill the transmission back with fluid.)
I'll let ya'll know, when I know more.
By the way, anybody else get eaten up with bugs on this trip? I truly thought I might have chicken pox (again) earlier this week, but it looks like bug bites, especially around the ankles. It's either that or a allergic reation all the freakin' chemicals I used to try to get the mud off my car!
