Likely no news tonight as the tow truck just got it back today and it's at the dealer. But there will be news tomorrow. My fingers are crossed for sure! Thanks jake.

The car had a tick before this, most noticeable at idle for the past week or so. And it was centric to the right side of the car. Right inside of the passenger air vent and seemingly near where the belt is.

I was thinking, it can't be that bad sounding, its only an alternator.

I was wrong. I'd have soiled my pants hearing that while driving.

Hoping for the best!
