W/in that mi/mi&1/2, first running fine, then came off cruise, then went to L3, then lights dimming, then lights out, engine still running, coast stop and engine dies on stop.
O'Reilly's etc, long closed and many many miles from where I was [though, now back home, the alternator is under warranty, O'Reilly's is 1/2 mi away, and my home charger/regulator is on the job].

Sounds like an alternator to me. Now I'm bummed, man. I wish I could at least get you a plate of the food I'm making. I normally do Ham on Christmas but this year it just so happens we're doing a bird. You said no turkey, and that's just ****ing criminal to me on Christmas. I'm only cooking because it's the only way the 3 of us in my house are gonna eat tomorrow. Nothing is open out here.
I hope it's a Merry Christmas for you anyways. I am sorry to hear the bad luck...
