This was a well illustrated video and saved me almost 2 hours of labor for doing it this way. Took me 10 minutes to replace and retest instead of following any service procedures on how to remove alternators. Thanks so much bud.

This video showed me how to remove part of the shroud so that I could get a pry bar in place to pull the belt. I could then engage the kick stand with the other hand. I had no idea the shroud came apart that easily. Thanks, it allowed me to replace my alternator myself saving at least $100.

Just to help you with your confusion, Engage: (with reference to a part of a machine or engine) move into position so as to come into operation. Pretty straight forward. My confusion comes from where you ask about a “kickstart”???? I’ve kickstarted many motorcycles but never a diesel truck. NOW I think we have identified the issue.
