I appreciate how you showed the part where the bolts didn't come out easily. It is so frustrating when the youtube videos make things look easy and then real life is so much more difficult. Great video - thank you.

Glad you liked it!

[@banwarth]

This video is awesome and crazy helpful! Made the whole project incredibly easy!!!

[@tahirmod]

Thanks for the video. nicely explained and the first time I tried and was able to change the Alternator of my van. I like the way you explained how to lose the tension of the alternator belt. It was very easy and saved a lot of time.

[@sadieladie5195]

Couldn’t get the ratchet in place, but am ready to try again tomorrow. And I’ll use your method to rotate it to remove the belt. Unfortunately, I don’t have a working battery, to do the charging, when finished. Good video. Gave me the confidence to try again.

[@MatthewH1215]

My buddy and I got it done in about 30 min's. Great video!

[@jaywholoveseveryone1721]

Ok. The longest bolt was in the rear of the alternator and the short one was in front. I don't know if this makes a difference, but WOW! My alternator was a PAIN to remove. It's 2008 4.0 and I think every thing on here is original. Now it's time for maintenance on every thing. Had to cut the belt & remove alternator to remove the one bolt under it holding Bank 2 intake. I feel like I'm building another van. Thanks so much for this video.❤

[@markcrase633]

You were right to the point had it done in 25. Thank you!

[@robertroot1686]

[@joshtimmons8130]

Great info. Thank you, sir!

[@HUASTECO8]

Awesome video!!!!!

[@b.michaelbrown1117]

Thanks so much!

[@mattbutler1978]

So if I’m able to get my hand down to put in the socket wrench for the tensioner, then I don’t have to remove the wheel, correct?

[@metalmayhemgarage442]

If your aim is good enough, you don't even have to get your hand down in there, but yes, essentially you have it correct.

[@samuelpena3195]

That's what she said lmao I'm subscribing just cuz of that

[@FGPgaming]

Fucking love it!✌🏿🤣

[@warner1600]

Nice video: I couldn't do it the tensioner was very close to the body in my caravan. any suggestions?

[@metalmayhemgarage442]

Thanks for watching! It is a tight fit to get that ratchet down in there but most people should be able to unless you have circumstances that prevent it (like the vehicle having been in an accident at some point.) If you absolutely cant get a ratchet on the tensioner, you may have to do what the guys at 2carpros did in the video linked in the description.

[@warner1600]

@@metalmayhemgarage442 Eventually I managed to replace the alternator and the car worked battery was completely dead. After jump-starting my van it worked. today morning I tried to turn it on, it did start at all. I am not sure what else could be the problem. The battery was good last time I changed it . Any suggestions?

[@metalmayhemgarage442]

Well, as I showed in the end of the video (did you watch to the end?) you need to charge up your battery on a charger and not just with your new alternator. Doing so will most likely solve your issue.

EXCELLENT ENTRETENME VÍDEO!!! 🎇🎆🎇🎆🎇 ONE ☝️ MORE SUBSCRIBER!!! 🤟🏻

[@metalmayhemgarage442]

Gracias!

[@joeblow5365]

The music sucks ! ! ! More Toy Story ! ! ! !

[@Howshure]

Use a cheater bar instead of a wrench much easier

[@metalmayhemgarage442]

Sure, if you have one. But, not everyone has the money to spend on such things.
