Hey robinsonsauto, do you have a part # or anything for it? I called local
parts stores and they can’t find one and I called the Dodge dealership and
they are telling me I would have to replace the alternator to get a new
decoupler pulley. I have a 2010 Dodge Avenger SXT 2.4 L. Any help is
appreciated and great video by the way. Thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. You’ve saved me at least
$900 at the dealership. How do you work on cars without cussing? I
can’t… :-)
thanks for your video it help me a lot, I just finish fixing my dodge
caliber 2007, it took me like 7 hours but i did it, thanks again I am so
happy with my car fix!
Sounds exactly like the problem my son is having with his 2007 Dodge
Caliber!
thank u sir.
Thankx alot for this vdo
Awesome video! This is exactly what my wife’s 2008n caliber sounds like!!
I’m looking forward to talking this problem but I have a question. If I
don’t have an impact wrench will I still be able to thread the decoupler
pulley onto the alternator?? If that is a huge issue I might have to fork
out some cash! Please respond and thanks for the help
THANK YOU!!!! My Avenger just started making the exact same noise, and your
video has helped me sooo much!
Thank you, Seems crazy right? they don’t seem to last like they used to
Hey robinsonsauto, a quick suggestion. Maybe you should redo the title to
include the jeep patriot/ compass to help others when they are searching
for this exact video. Like I said in my earlier post, the patriot, compass,
and I believe a van share the same exact engin. Just a thought. I can’t say
it enough, great job once again!!
The pulley cannot be swapped out without removing the alternator?
How about the shim washer you left on the work bench, should that have been
installed with the new pulley?
Bill, thanks for the amazing video. I was actually able to borrow the auto
stethescope tool and pin-pointed to my alternator, 08 Avenger!!! My
question, would it be wise to also replace the idler pulleys (upper, lower,
tensioner), while doing the alternator pulley? It’s around $40 more for the
other 3 pulleys, I just don’t know if it is worth the time and money to
change them out. Will these wear eventually too? Don’t want to tear apart
again in another 20k miles for an idler?? Thanks!!
My friend told me that he takes his starter/alts to a place and its
cheaper, im thinking quality?
Thanks for the video made my job easier to change the alternator in 35
minutes
Thank you, once i presented the option the customer gave me a double take..
you can do that lol yea Save$ when you can especially in these times
your welcome
Your welcome, thanks for the compliment and feednack
Great video, it’s perfect for what I’m about to do with my Compass. I’m
considering using a corded electric impact wrench – do you think this will
produce enough torque to tighten the pulley down?
Thank you for the compliment, i sure can. Thanks again for the feedback
means a lot
Thank you so much for this video. This shows me how to change my alternator
on my Dodge Caliber 2007. I purchased my Caliber in 2006 and ran across 4
other Calibers in my area that had the same problem with their alternators.
I swear to God, I would like to punch whoever Dodge put in charge of
designing this contraption. Punch him right in his face. Excellent video.
Thanks a ton.
Thanks!
Will, you didn’t put back that gasket/shim/washer before installing the
pulley. Tell us about it.
Fantastic, camera work and editing is top notch as well. I did notice you
using a cordless impact ratchet, thinking of getting the Milwaukee M12. If
you happen to use it again in a vid let us know how you like it.
thank you another great video.
Robinsonsauto.tks. my dad 85gmc1500305v8 sat. idles rough, oil leak, but
starts. carb!! I want 2 fix it to run
Thank you for the compliment, been down the last couple days, Lower back
went out Twisted wrong or something. Feeling much better today. be back at
it soon
another very informative video! thanks for this
hello i have the same problem in my dodge avenger 2.4, the same sound,
where as I will tarry long with the repair, it can mess up something else,?
thanks for the reply I writes from Poland,
@robinsonauto.luv video. If I get an alt. rebuilt or built with higher
amps. What should I ask? What should be replaced?
Great video. I just did one 4 days ago, on a jeep compass 08, 6700 miles.
and 2 outer tie rods, 2 lower controll arms.
@robinsonsauto..thanks in advance. often, I get the girl factor: why u what
2 know look from guys
Can’t spell engine for some reason haha.
What a great video. Thank you!
Thank you, tried something new with the steps. your welcome
great video will keep up the good work
Hey just got a 88 Lebaron got a knocking sound form the transmission it
comes and goes
Thank you
Thanks a lot man. Very helpful
awesome video i just did this job your video was excellent thnx very much
jh.
I was unemployed and paying to have the alternator replaced was not
financially feasible. Because I had more time than money, these
instructions enabled me to replace the alternator in our car for just the
cost of the part. Thank you very much for the great tutorial.
Excellent vid! My girlfriends ’07 Caliber is making the same noise and I’ve
been trying to find out how to get the alternator out for the past few
weeks. Now I have a general idea! Thanks!
This video is good help because thats what i will be doing to my wifes car
in the morning. Thanks
