It depends on the engine...if its carbuerated it will last usually long enough to get you 3 or more miles using the power from the battery, fuel injected much less.because newer cars power fuel pump, injectors . also depends if alternator and water pump are using same belt. but usually car would overheat before it ran out of juice. not far. as soon as the battery goes dead, so will your car

How far can i drive with broken you joint in truck?
Not far. Drive the back roads to your nearest garage for repairs and stay off the highways.
How far can you drive with harmonic balancer removed?
You didn't state what vehicle you have but with most vehicles all the belt driven accessories are driven by pulleys attached to the harmonic balancer so you will be driving without a functioning alternator, power steering pump and water pump not to mention you will probably be splashing out motor oil profusely. I give it about 20 to 30 minutes before the engine seizes.
Pros and cons of big alternator?
There aren't really any cons to using a large alternator, other than it being a waste of money if the extra amps are never being used. As far as pros, a larger, more powerful alternator, correctly installed in a system designed to make use of it, will allow more electrical and electronic components to be installed in the vehicle. Items such as big stereo amps, large light displays, fridges, a/c units or heaters, microwaves, etc. usually require a larger alternator and better battery to operate normally.
Can you drive a car if it has a boiling radiator?
you can drive with radiator boiling but will do damage to engine if driven far better to let vehicle cool down, refill with coolant to get it to shop and have problem fixed or call a wrecker to tow it
Why if bad pulley your car not start?
Well to start with the question is a bit vague. A pulley has nothing to do with a start operation; a loose pulley may cause the belt not to turn fast enough to charge the battery and that's as far as it goes. Check your belt tension. If loose tighten it. That's All
