I think people who truly appreciate these videos, realize that you could have finished much quicker and easier if you were not filming. But you take the time to film it so that we who are looking for this video to give us help and guidance would be able to find it. Huge help and thank you so much! Keep doing what you do!

[@diegolinos]

You literally did the whole thing with one hand 😅 thank you I’m going to save 250 bucks tomorrow

[@rorydeanschneider586]

BRO, I just swapped my alternator out of my van last night in a damn parking lot near where it quit on me. I watched this video pretty much while I was working.. only one on YT that was same make and model. You saved my ass man. Thanks, peace.

[@martinsalazar9042]

Not all heroes wear capes!! Thanks a bunch, great video!!!

[@vaman5591]

Thanks Rusty, my 2006 E250 was running fine and all of a sudden the gauges flatlined. I was like WTF? Then I realized there was a light on the dash, looked like a red devil, but in the shape of a car battery! Rut ro... Went and had it checked at Advance Auto, picked up a replacement alternator and came home and hit up the KZbin, and it was Rusty to the rescue!! My man! Thanks for taking the time to send that out, I wouldn't have known how to get around the belt tensioner, and the sequence you went through.You are The Man! Thanks brother, for thinking of us!!

Great

[@jessicahickey4527]

Thank you so so much from a 22yr old girl with a 2004 Ford E350 Super Duty shuttle bus

[@uglyhp8225]

lucky i always wanted one of those

[@cjspeed8689]

This saved me so much time and money and as a small business owner I can not tell you what that means thank you so much for this video

[@paolamorel3443]

I would like to Express sincere gratitude for you taking your time to make this video

[@richardtidd2738]

THANK YOU for saving me at least $200 bucks, so far its only cost $40 for junkyard alternator, excellent video.

[@williamjarvis4848]

Great video, I just had to replace my alternator in the driveway of a friend's house while the temperature was 9 degrees Fahrenheit that didn't have tools so I REALLY appreciated the fact that you included all the sizes needed so I didn't have to go retrieve more tools in the middle, it was more like work 3 min warm up in the truck for 10 then work again for 3 min! ! Thanks a lot!

[@uglyhp8225]

Glad it helped

[@juniperdoes]

Thank you for this video! I just had to change the battery in my 01 e250 and needed to know about the alternator *just in case* that’s why it died. Great to know the serpentine belt is right there, too! Probably will be a good time to replace when I do the alternator. You broke it down so clearly, I know I'll be able to do it when it's time.

[@JasonKaiser78]

Just the video I needed. I was gonna pay a ton to have someone do this for me, thanks for the help!

[@ramsesvelasco]

Thumbs Up for this Instructional video, I just replaced my 1st ever Alternator, your video made it easy to do, my auto mechanic skills are 5/10 !! after watching this video and doing it myself I think a Level up to 7/10 lol Thanks! ...

[@stevemcwilliams8680]

Just what I needed. My alternator just seized up and broke the belt. Hopefully this saves me a lot of headaches. You are a champion!

[@showservices1]

that vid was great except for the most important part- we couldn't see exactly how that tensioner loosens and tightens ? did you have to pry it with a bar while tightening it with the 1/2 inch ?????

[@jjr8614]

Thank you so much. Just replaced mine today. It was very easy thanks to you....

[@jeffwalters1749]

Your video was great! I changed my alternator after watching your video and my van runs good now! Thanks for making this!

[@reneeblair2164]

not all heroes wear a cape! thank you!

[@uglyhp8225]

you are very welcome

[@famfirst711]

I need that drill because the old fashion wrench is annoying but it does get the job done.

[@katemoon7476]

Thanks for this video! Good lighting too, got to see it all. Not all of these videos are so considerate of their audience to be able to see everything.

[@joesallaz7937]

Perfect video for my first Ford. Thanks!!!!

[@mverick160]

I just removed the air filter cover and the snoot and left the rest of the air intake on it. Had plenty of room to get to the alternator.

[@joker2712005]

U made that look super easy!!! I'm ready to get greasy! Thx bro

[@ALmatic159SL]

Thx for the video bro! I'll be changing mine this weekend. What year is this? I have 2008 E250

[@DjDuilioPV]

[@susanb9821]

Thanks for this, hopefully won't have to pay someone to do it!

[@SaySarah]

Looks easy enough to me! haha we'll see

[@ameliawasiluk5104]

Why does a dead car starts when an alternator is tapped by the leads?

[@peterlaurancearmenio5545]

Hey thanks a lot for making this video KZbin is valuable to all of us what would be the normal voltage on the alternator not connected to the battery and then when it is connected to the battery my onboard diagnostics is indicating that my voltage is too high and I just noticed the acid leaking on the negative terminal so it’s definitely getting overcharged on my end should it be going directly to the alternator or to a charging block thanks

[@uglyhp8225]

13.5v give or take nothing over 1v or below 1v

[@ayazbuksh5712]

Excellent video and instruction. Thank you.

[@readytorvdude1224]

What is a oem fit high output model number to fit those vans greater than 130amp output

[@beardednomadvanlife6363]

I have a 2008 e 250 and auto zone shows different plugs d shape and some other plus lists 2 different pulley options I believe . Is there an easy way to know which I need without tearing everything apart to see it ?

[@uglyhp8225]

nope because their system is constantly wrong best way is to take yours off and match it up in store also i would not recommend buying from autozone the parts they sell are complete junk and you will be changing that alternator more then once

[@mattlord2906]

Too bad nobody did video on a 1994 alternator removal on E250 4.9 liter

[@superdon1chw]

[@rubenvelasquez4292]

How do you tighten the belt ? I changed my alternator but my belt is loose how do I tighten it??

[@uglyhp8225]

you probably have the belt routed wrong it has a spring tensioner

[@davidburgoon8089]

Great video! Thanks!

[@michaellodge4093]

[@arashcameron4915]
