Thank you all who viewed my first video! I didn't expect to have all the views the way it did. Thank you for subscribing, also. This truck has over 370k in mileage and counting. Hopefully, I can keep this car running till 500k. Fingers and toes crossed :)
Regarding this new video, I never thought i would be able to change my own alternator. I've always gone to the shop to get things like this repaired or replaced. The battery light came on one day but would disappear when i accelerate above 20mph. It would light up again when i slowed down or stopped at a light. I checked the battery with a meter and it registered at 11v and even as low as 8v. I thought i needed a new battery since I've had it for a while already, so i purchased a new one, like an idiot lol. Needless to say, the light came back on after a few miles driving. After alot of research, Alternator replacement keeps coming up. So, now here's my try on it. This took me 2 days to do since i have to deal with camera battery charging and placement of the camera and purchasing the right socket for the adjustment and stuck bolts. After all of this, I think you can do this job for 1 to 3 hours. Like the first video, I've done a few mistakes on this one too. I wished i could have marked the placement of the alternator before loosening the Tensioner, as you'll see in the video. I had to rely on my own judgement of whether the belt was tight enough (that's scary). Also, I was all over the place with removing the connections and bots and nuts. You might notice some inconsistencies with the video. I had to put the sequence in the right order so it'll be easier when removing parts the way i think makes more sense now that I've done it. Overall, i hope this helps!
Again, thank you for watching!
Only if you want to get the same part i got, here is the exact alternator I purchased:

Also, if your bolt is stuck, here is a link for the spray i used. I tried 2 different other sprays but this one was the one that worked. I bought mine from home depot for only $3. This link should just help you with the description of the spray. If you buy this from other stores i think it's cheaper. Use this link below for description only.
