Jeep Liberty Alternator Replacement || 10 Minutes!!

[@grahamball364]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I drive a Dodge 2.8 diesel which I drive in the UK. England all signs indicate that the Aitor isn’t charging this system so I’m going to attempt to replace the alternator a new video as instructed thank you for your help. Have a good day. 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧

[@DennisBoydstun]

Thanks for the video! An absolute life saver for a mechanical novice- first time doing this since back in the eighties. Did it in a little over 17:35.

[@michaelwarwavesyn9391]

Tips: Taking off the belt, to loosen tensioner pulley, tighten its bolt, it will require a lot of force. Putting belt back on, I found it most useful to put on the big loop at top middle last. I was working with a jeep liberty 08. This video was extremely helpful. Thank you Blake!

[@DOOMGROOM]

Lol, thanks for the video. Friend asked me to take her's off while she was at autozone, so 10 minutes later im up there. It tested fine, so I went back put it back in, she drove it up to autozone and the guy said, you put it in that fast? Made me look like a pro.

[@archam777]

Lol!!! There is WWWAAAYYY more room between your coolant tank and the belt in comparison to what I have to deal with.....I think ill just let my mechanic do it. If it wasnt for the belt situation im pretty sure I could do it (dont be too hard on me Im a novice at fixing "car stuff" and im physically handicap 😁). BUT, thanks for the upload. KZbin instruction videos are much appreciated 👍

[@Mck499]

Thank you, my jeep has been making this noise for a while I thought it was the alternator but i wasn't 100% sure. And I wasn't sure how to describe it online or in person for people to help with it. Seriously thanks, I've been trying to figure it out for atleast 4 months now

You're welcome thanks for watching and the positive comment! Like and subscribe if you're interested.

You should’ve showed what bolt it was to release the tension

[@corymckinney3987]

It's 5 /8 15 mm

[@aprilcrosby968]

This is the best video by far that I watched. Thank you making this and sharing.

[@fab-antonio]

Thanks for the video bud. Very helpful.

[@KeithWeast]

Thank you for this video. My jeep died on the freeway and had it towed to my local mechanic. They want $914 to change the alternator and battery.

[@joevitiel4181]

the same thing happen to me and i say what!! you crazy, i call my AAAtowing to take the jeep to my house i buy alternator eBay original whit low miles 68k i fix myself cost me $50 only, and use same battery 3 years old. government should do something about dealers and mechanic steeling peoples money.

[@SouthernInquirer55]

Hint; Take a long screwdriver and touch the bit to the body of the alternator and the handle to your ear, it amplifies the bearing noise, if any. And hold the positive cable fitting at the alternator to prevent the possibility of busting the terminal off.

[@gusg8526]

Amazing video my guy!! Thank you!!! Keep making them! And keep charging for 5..6 hrs 😂😂😂 🙏🔥

[@dakotahynus8759]

Thanks for tips brotha saved me some cash forsure

[@thesetruths1404]

The pulley area will also get hot fast when pulley or alternator itself is going bad.

[@39knights]

'...always seems to stick for me....' says the guy that don't use anti-seize when replacing parts :-) . Thanks for the video though. Dealing with one of these rigs which seems to have the computer-regulator issue.

[@BlakesGarage1]

Are you referring to the alternator needing to be pried out? If so its designed to be pinched into place....

[@DavidParker-i8o]

He is saying, the ECM controls the charging output of the alternator on these cars.@@BlakesGarage1

[@ouyardbird5172]

Thanks man. Do you have to torque down the 15 mm short and long bolts? If not then, I'm just gonna tighten em up with my superman arms ( noodles )

[@BlakesGarage1]

Common sense tight should be good. Thanks for watching!

[@atomicfusionvideo]

I have family member wants to upgrade from 140 AMP to 160 (New lite bar soon )no problem to upgrade but is it worth it !

[@trugod8052]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@gregg6471]

Helpful video. Thank you

[@metalheadmaynard2684]

Mine stopped charging on my way home today. Stopped and got one on the way amd barely made it to the driveway

[@Turk_2023]

10 minutes just for the swap, but taking the coolant reservoir off and putting it back on takes an extra 20-30 minutes

[@BlakesGarage1]

Why are you taking the coolant resevoir off for the alternator?

[@Erm2]

It takes me 5 min ,011 Liberty sport,, reservoir is in the way

[@Erm2]

5 min to take reservoir off

[@Turk_2023]

@@BlakesGarage1 I like to look over the belt while I am doing it

[@BlakesGarage1]

@@Turk_2023 I hope you aren't still working on this 10 months later

[@AndreManley-hs1xl]

Do we make a difference which alternator you put on there the one with the clutch or without

[@BlakesGarage1]

Yes, match whichever the vehicle has.

[@christydavis5647]

Can you tell me which amp alternator is needed for 2010 Jeep Liberty

[@donwestphal2529]

Wow really easy thanks

[@lacaranite4446]

I have a Jeep Liberty 2011 is it as easy to get the connectors off as you did? I heard I need a special set of keys for the newer models

[@BlakesGarage1]

I don't know of a special key for electrical connectors. Chrysler connectors are definitely more of a pain though.

[@352ish]

Mine is making a whining noise. Almost sounded like low power steering. I took the negative cable off and it stalled. Def the alternator right?

[@BlakesGarage1]

Sounds like a good chance. You might check with a volt meter or have your local auto parts store test the charging system to confirm.

[@knightcrusader]

Why do some have clutches and some don't? Mine doesn't have it. I luckily got the right alternator. I have never heard of an alternator with a clutch before.

[@BlakesGarage1]

Good question. I'm not sure of the answer. Thanks for watching

[@davidtharp1591]

THANKS man

[@basedeal]

Cool duralast tools from autozone 👍

[@BlakesGarage1]

They've been pretty great, looking to upgrade in the future after 10 years with them

[@rickstewart5030]

Thx for the video but did your 10 minutes include removing the reservoirs?

[@BlakesGarage1]

Which reservoirs would that be?

[@21AdamA]

I think he's referring to the two giant tanks of fluid you removed first to get to the altinator

[@BlakesGarage1]

@@21AdamA Oh, yes I think so. Give or take :14. Is my eligibility for the world record still in tact?

[@21AdamA]

Without a doubt 👊

[@OldJoe212]

Thanks for the video.... And you learned to never call the customer before the "Book Time".

[@simpinainteasyRHEC]

Where's the coolant resivor? Lol mines huge and in the way. I don't see yours sticking out and in the way.

[@BlakesGarage1]

My coolant reservoir is bolted to the firewall on the passenger side above the valve cover

[@DavidParker-i8o]

I think the coolant tank was relocated on 07' and later models.@@BlakesGarage1

[@MountainFolktales]

You pay for the tools n know how to get it done right n fast not the actual job time. This video hopefully helps thanks!

[@MichaelBrown-re2hz]

Where’s the coolant and washer fluid tank mine is right In the way on 08 liberty
