I was expecting the next reply to be "truck burnt to the ground" when he said he removed the fuse.

And down to his last 10 bucks but it's getting a new motor?I'm sorry but this thread has to be one of the worst as far as somebody needing help and giving absolutely 0 feedback or explanations on what is happening.
Now he turned his headlights on and the alternator started working but he put a piston threw the oil pan.....
use your words man!!!
well, that didn't end well.It runs perfectly fine without the 175 amp fuse the problem ended up headlights. When I turned my headlights on I started seeing 14 volts... the truck threw the cyl 1 piston out the bottom of the oil pan.

Pretty sure an overtightened serpentine will just kill the idler/tensioner pulley bearing before anything else. The water pump may be in danger before anything else.
I'm no expert, I won't try to pretend to be one, but I'm about 99% sure that headlights don't overwork the alternator so much to the point that it throws a piston. Maybe if you're idling at 9500 RPM it'll do that (even still the headlights don't cause that!). I'm not sure that a over-tightened serpentine belt does that either, it'll just ruin the bearings if I'm not mistaken.
Once had a Dodge minivan cruise control module decide to go haywire while my wife was pulling into the driveway with the house right in front of her.If that's what actually happened that would be one heck of a underwear staining moment, lol.
I cant imagine what I would be thinking if I turned on the headlights and the engine went to 8,000 rpm.
Was that a 95 to 98 Dodge?Once had a Dodge minivan cruise control module decide to go haywire while my wife was pulling into the driveway with the house right in front of her.
It went WOT and she stood on the brakes but it was not stopping, I hulked the shifter on the column into park, in the process that poor transmission grenaded, missed the house by about 6 inches.
Someone definitely **** my pants that day.
Ended up selling the van for more than I paid for it to a dude who was happy to buy it even after I told him clearly the transmission was toast and the engine might be too.
He said he did not care, it was to be used as a training vehicle for his high school students, so the more wrong with it the better.
The next day he had a flatbed and a wad of cash for me.
First time I ever made money destroying a transmission
