thanks my man! I’m going to give this a shot this weekend.

Nathan Wooler says:

Thanks for the video!!! It got a little dark at the end there, but it was still a great help!

kerobinsonii says:

Hope it is just the tensioner they are fairly inexpensive.

So as I take it off I see the bearing that is on the serp belt ‘tightner’ is shot to hell which explains the shavings. So, the alternator may not be dead. When I put a meter on it, it was shooting wildly between 4 and 14 vots. The slippage or hanging up of the serp belt could explain that, and this problem was worse when I ran my AC, for example. So, off to get a new serp belt, test the altternator, get a new serp pully tightner…thingy…

lnlaughlinful says:

Good stuff. I have to replace the alternator on my yukon and though I’d check youtube. Jackpot !! I also have serpentine belt ‘shaving’ inside the front of my alternator so I have to replace that.

kerobinsonii says:

Had to disassemble half of an Escort to get to the alternator one time! LOL!

heavymechanic2 says:

I know GM has alternators ranging from 111, 129, 150, 190 etc. Its typical to find a low amp alt on a heavy vehicle because they are driven longer periods of time as compared to short trips and more electrical stuff on a pleasure use vehicle…. BTW I had to remove the axle on a Honda to remove an alternator, awesome design right?

kerobinsonii says:

Glad I was able to help!

You are NOT a moron, thanks for the great instructions. I enjoyed your commentary, and you helped me replace my alternator. Keep up the good work.

SHPRocky1 says:

You made it so I can drive to work tomorrow, this video worked on my 96 Chevy blazer, I was able to do it myself, and I saved a bunch of money, less than hour’s worth of work, thanks to this loveable hick! Thanks loveable hick you really helped me out especially considering it’s Sunday and no mechanic’s in my area are open.

eotte1993 says:

Did the 128 and 154 #’s stamped on the alternators have an A after them? If they did then that’s the amperage of each one

kerobinsonii says:

No problem ! Thank you for watching !

Nicholas Flintosh says:

Thanks for the help!

kerobinsonii says:

LOL ! 10-4 Blueroads !

kerobinsonii says:

I would think it would just give the truck the ability to carry a higher electrical load.

MrBlueroads says:

I dont know what them wires do till they stop doing it, at least you didnt have to go to you know where#1 10-4

ghtowagon says:

Check the parts listings on rock auto or something like that and usually pulley size is listed

kerobinsonii says:

The pulley on the higher amp is 1/32 of an inch larger.

Gasser4x4 says:

Hmm… you will get better voltage from a higher amps alternator.

kerobinsonii says:

I will pull the dial caliper out and measure it.

ghtowagon says:

was the pulley the same size? Usually the higher amperes have a small diameter pulley.

kerobinsonii says:

Thanks #9 !

DEATHTRAPHOTRODS says:

Good job click bum sub bum #1 BROTHERS OF THE ROAD BASTARD!!! FRom mean old nasty #9 DIG IT!!

gple87 says:

ez there sparky, lol

More350Power says:

I would say more amps are because the alternator doesnt have to work as hard with lights and everything on.

kerobinsonii says:

I knew sooner or later I would touch that positive lead to something! It never fails! So more amps are good right??

More350Power says:

I think those numbers are either amps or part numbers. Most of those alternators are the same on the 4.3 and 5.7 vortec engines of that year just different amperages. I was waiting for a spark and you got it in there lol

redneck2010ize says:

lmao good one

kerobinsonii says:

Thanks !

redneck2010ize says:

Ya crazy but you made me laugh and wanna roll on the floor lmao

kerobinsonii says:

So much easier than about anything else!

Ridge97 says:
