If your pulleys are causing the alternator to not output enough you may need to get a higher output alternator.

well my car just got towed back to the dealership yesterday cause the alternator went out at 14101 miles when i finally got her home nothing worked electrically i had no lights not even brake lights no airbags no tcs no abs no radio windows wouldn't go up and dash no longer work but my question is that is the alternator that went out right? and has this happen to anyone else? and how long should it take to get repaired?
This exact thing happened to mine 3 weeks ago. With only 15,000 mi. It was the altenator.

so what did you do to fix it??

Im afraid to take it to the dealership and have them void my warranty, with only 9k miles on the car !!

It was fixed under warranty. I left my intake and tune intacked. No questions asked. Richmond Ford seems to be mod friendly.
