You forgot the pulled back. I ran mine all around and then pulled like hell at the alternator. Put gloves on and make sure the truck is cool. Its nice to have a helping hand. (Someone to yell at)

What did you have to take off to even get to it?

Did you do it from above or below?

 

[Abrannan19]

couldnt you just cut it to get it off?

 

[mikehalseyjr]

You could but geting the new one on would still be a hassle.

Dealer told me that a belt change on a dual alt. truck is a 3-4 hr. job

 

[mikehalseyjr]

Rich,

What did you dis-assemble to R&R the belt?

 

[SINNER]

just be glad you dont have a fluidamper on it. If you take the top part of the fan shroud off it is much easier.

That the same dealer that takes 2 weeks to diagnose a transmission problem, Pete?

When I did my alternator I just got up into the motor and with two hands pulled up and over. The hard part was making it line all back up. This is a 20 minute job. I do have a single alternator.
