Battery light on dashbord is staying on

You got lucky. My experience has been that when that light comes on, you've only got a matter of a day or two to get your alternator unbuggered/replaced before you're dead in the water. Good job going to the parts house for a scan.

Yeah the local Shuck's/O'Reilly guys were pretty helpful. Gave me a quick walk-through on the removal of the alt and belt. I had never done it before and it took about 45 minutes. Longest part was aligning the new alt absolutely perfectly so the bolts would slide all the way in.
