Thank you for the film. @5:14 those bolts (both lower and upper) are 24 ft-lbs. Do you happen know if faulty Ignition Coil(s) can cause the Alternator not charge the Battery? I have Battery Light and Alternator doesn't charge the Battery. I have code P0621 and advices inn scanner to replace the Ignition Coil(s) and Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor. I think I fried the Alternator running the car w/EGR Valve removed. I was cleaning EGR Valve ports, but probably too long. There was a smell of smth burning (rpms went to 4000). There is power to alternator B and L points (L - ignition point), I've checked. It was good to see this film. I replaced the alternator only once before, and many details were not really clear. Thank you again.
Low voltage may throw many codes, get your charging system fixed, anything under 11 volts and things are not going to work well, good luck and you're welcome, thanks for watching
@@ccreations123 Thank you for pointing on that interesting effect w/low voltage. It is good to know. Unfortunately Battery Light is true: the voltage on the battery drops, when running.
Upper: M8 x 1.25 x 1-1/2" Lower: M8 x 1.25 x 5.0" , thread is only on the end 1-3/8". Upper Bolt is a nightmare, I couldn't fit it in, smth doesn't align.
Maybe an hour and a half, it's about 30 minutes if your all set up for it but still about an hour f you count getting things out and putting them back up, on these cars its better to take your time if you haven't worked on them before and not lose anything along the way
It takes a bit of a skilled hand and some patience, having a couple tools doesn't hurt either, it's not easy, but it's not that hard either, I might give it a 6 for difficulty level, thanks for watching
It's a bit on the tougher side but can be done, it's a job but that's why I made the video so that there's no mystery to it and also because there was no videos that I could find showing how to get the belt on and off, good luck with whichever you choose, a mobile mechanic should do this job for under 200 plus parts, imo
Thank you for the video .... I have to change that sucker out today.
Thank you very much for the video this that means I can have my car back soon
I have a 2000 LS1, what is that plug for that plugs into the alternator? Whatever that does its causing my lights to flicker in my car.
It's what controls the voltage regulator, it's basically key on power to excite the alternator, check your connection

Where did you position the jack stands/jack?in order to get way under there? I don't see were it's lifted from
You there?
The frame of the car at the front of the door area where subframe meets there if I remember correctly,
I'm about to replace mine this weekend.
Good luck and thanks for watching
Good but u need to onplug negatif first? not positive.. Can burn some electrical ...but nice video
Yes, a good habit to get into
Got to do one in a few hours
Size of alternator bolt?
13 mm, thanks for watching and good luck with your repair

Great video as always. How long would you say this job would take as a novice?

I have a 2000 sl2 I love my junk car it keeps on running
Looks like a nightmare

I wanted to do myself yikes
