- Changing or replacing the alternator on this 2006 Ford F-150 is very simple and easy to do.
This Ford has the 5.4l V8 engine and thankfully the alternator is located in-front of the engine.
You'll need a wrench, extensions and a 10mm socket so good luck.
When your car or pickup dies while driving then the alternator is usually the main cause.
Learning how to do the job is simple for this pickup.

Absolutely one of the best R&R videos on YT.... no extra BS just steps to replace the part!.... Keep up the great work.
Thank you; wanted to keep the video short and sweet to get the job done
great video. thank you very much. made it easy for me to get the job done. if there are any ladies out there, i (a 5'4" not strong lady) was able to change my alternator in an afternoon. not as fast as a guy would have done but saved a lot of money and time -- the mechanic would have taken 2 weeks to get to it. since i'm short i had to perch on top of the engine like a bird for a lot of it. and i had to use a cheater bar to be strong enough to loosen the fan belt. but i also got the throttle body cleaned while i had that accessed. this video gave the confidence to do it.
Thank you so much for pointing out you are a lady. My alternator is bad and I was looking for videos to see if I could replace it myself. Both the video and your comment gives me the confidence to rise to the challenge.
Can I ask where you ended up purchasing the alternator? Did you have to buy a brand new battery as well? Thank you again.
@@steffany6233 i bought my alternator from napa. they were able to test my old one to confirm it truly was bad. and the guys working at my napa store are really nice and helpful plus they have a dog in the store, too. i did not need to buy a new battery.
Appreciate the video you saved me probably 800 dollars
Agree with everyone else! Best video of how to do it!
Thanks! Glad the video helped you out!!!
Excellent help thanks. FYI: 1/2” wrench on the pulley tensioner not 3/8. 👍
Thanks for the info!
Direct and to the point. Good video, lighting, angles, and easy to follow steps. I like it.

EXCELLENT AND HELPFUL VIDEO--GREAT JOB!!!

Thank you did it in 40 minutes even though I’m sure u did it much faster lol
Glad the video was helpful. It took the same amount of time for me too but that was with filming.
Thank you very much
Great video man
Thanks!
great video thank you,,,
Awesome helpful video
Glad the video helped!

No problem!
Additionally, the serpentine tensioner is designed to be actuated using a 3/8" ratchet or breaker bar and not a 3/8" socket.
For me, I needed the longer 3/8" ratchet breaker bar. Think of the serpentine belt tension pulley as a giant 3/8" drive socket.
My man just jump cut the part I was looking for tips on. An easier way to get the belt back on.
Well if you were able to get it off then the same should be when reinstalling it again. Just have to have the belt properly set and pull that tensioner hard.
Mines was 1/2 inch for belt
The tensioner is a 1/2 drive, not 3/8.
Appreciate the clarification. I said 1/2 since my mind was on my breaker bar.
I thought the removal of the back connector was glossed over. I ended up using a flat-blade screw driver bit pushed into the connector lock to be able to get the connector out of the alternator.
I wish this video was for a 2007 XLT 5.4 liter - it was helpful but the fan cowling on the 2007 covers the top frame member to the front side of the upper radiator hose and was a complete pain to deal with.
Meant to ask what amperage is yours I’m going to do mine soon every retailer says it’s 110 is that what yours is ?
My deep socket bolts stripped and I’m trying to use the vice grips like u did but it’s not working or I don’t have it on there right in need help lol
Rust sucks but try PB blaster and tighten the vice grip really hard. If you head the bolts a bit the shock should loosen some rust in the treads of the rusty bolts
The tensioner on my 2006 F150 5.4 L is 1/2", not 3/8"
Two things, my belt tensioner was 1/2 inch not 3/8s, and I am looking at electric wire clip on the alternator, trying to figure out how to unplug it. what did you do to get it unplugged? thanks.
I figured out. You have slide a small screwdriver on top of the plug under the alternator socket to release the tab.
How do you know how tight to make the belt after reattaching everything??
The belt tensioner Is what puts pressure on the serpentine belt. You really don't have to worry about how tight the belts gets since its spring loaded inside. When the belt tensioner is going bad it will move a lot and make lots of noise.
Did u put the belt on by yourself of did u have help? I can barely fit my arm in to only loosen the belt but I can’t fit another arm to put the belt back on
I did it myself. It’s a tight fit since the pulley tensioner is tough. I would realign everything again and put the belt on the alternator last.
@@secondhandspeed I have my alternator mounted already I just need to get my belt on, just so damn tough, did u just hulk it out idk what to do already have my whole forearms cut up lmao
Yes, that was the hardest part of the whole job, loosening the tension on the belt! Especially when putting it back on. There isn’t very much room to work. But I got it. I used a long cheater pipe over the wrench. I don’t think I could have done without it.
Where did you get the alternator?
I got mine from 1a auto
I just bought one from DB electrical you think there alternators good
Sorry for the late response. I bought mine on Rock Auto. Paid $150 for a brand new alternator. It’s still working great!
How tight should the belt be torqued to after putting the alternator
@@christopherrenteria2810 what do you mean
too bad all "how to's" are not like this
I'm glad you like this video. They can be hard to make it simple.
