Default Idler pulley bad. :(
So I took it into the shop Friday, they thought it was alternator, turns out it's one of the idler pulleys.

Apparently it's on backorder. Fuck! I wanted to go wheeling this weekend too.

Now waiting to hear back from Jeep if they are going to at least give me a rental.

Totally agree

Had to replace mine and it was super easy. Just make a drawing of how the belt is routed before you take it off.
