Great help, made this quick and easy. Tried to get my brother to go ahead and replace the belt but he wanted to save the $40. Should have just replaced it at this rate and being 140k miles would have killed two birds with one stone. Here's to getting back under the truck in a few months to replace the belt. 😀
Thank you for showing how to release tension on the tensioner pulley. Yours was the only video to clearly show that.
Nice.
thank you for making these videos.. you guys rock..
did this, no need to take to the belt all the wa, just sit it right under the alternatior, and i didnt have to take the air filter off the alternator slid past the throttle body hose. i did remove the throttle cable wires
Pro tip: you do not need to remove the intake or radiator hose to do this job. Just need to loosen the radiator hose brace and turn it out of the way. Steps go like this: remove belt, remove three bolts holding alternator, remove three electrical connections from alternator, loosen radiator hose brace and rotate out of the way, pull alternator out (towards battery). I got mine out, picked up a new one from the auto parts store, and reinstalled in under an hour. Super easy, thanks for the helpful video!
It is a helpful video, I did not go under the truck to remove or replace the belt. I also did not see any reason in removing the belt since it just dropped out of the way.
Why did you remove the belt? This is a 15 min job if you keep the belt in place, slide the new alternator in and slide the belt over the pulley. Did I miss something as to why it's removed completely,
Aye I’ve got it close to off but calling quits for the night, thanks for the help. Also u don’t have to disconnect the air thing on the back, you just push to the side and only disconnect 1 wire not 2. Also u can not take the pulley all the way off, I just took off the top
Total thumbs up. I just received the replacement alternator from 1A. Absolutely perfect match with the old Motorcraft, bolted in exactly. The directions in this video were spot on and very clear and easy to follow. I had the old one out and the new one installed in about an hour (second vote for not removing the serpentine belt, just take it off the alternator pulley and leave it in place). I'll gladly do business with this company again
Following the video I was able to replace my alternator without any problems, other than a dead battery which I was able to get replaced for free, the truck is up and running. Thank you!!
