Best camera angles on this one. You go into more details than most of the other videos I’ve seen. This is by far the best repair video on the subject I’ve seen. Thanks for making it. 👍🏻
Your video was great! It taught me a great lesson, there's NOOOO way in heck I'm going to try and tackle this on my own. I'm going straight to my trusted mechanic. Great job! 😅
This way beats another video taking the fuse box upper radiator hose fuse box bracket motor mount and brackets then the top cover appreciate this video nice work
Many thanks for the video. Was very helpful for replacing the alternator on our 2007 Saturn Outlook, and I really appreciate all the time you took to set up multiple camera angles. I did have to check other videos to see proper belt routing, but yours helped me save ~$1250 in parts and labor over quotes from both the dealer and independent GM mechanic. (FYI new AC Delco alternator on Amazon is
Thanks for the view and the tips! That's a pretty impressive savings! For me this seemed to be the least likely way to risk any damage to the AC or radiator.
Thank you so much we watched others and they just started that the screwa just came out didnt mention at all that they had to be taken out with a wrench. We found your video and we were able to finish the job in half an hour.
You made it look easy! Buddy and I just replaced one in his wife’s. A total nightmare but we got it done. After installing gauge was reading erratic and further test showed new alternator was bad so we got to do it again… have the new one tested before installing!!! GM should be ashamed of designing and selling a POS like this.
Be sure to watch MULTIPLE videos on this, if you're thinking about doing your own. There are SEVERAL different methods that people have shown.... pick what works best for you!
I'm curious I don't think it's my alternator but I wasn't in the vehicle. My wife was driving. I have a crank no start. It turns over attempts to crank but nothing. I've replaced, starter, crank sensor, oil pressure sensor, camshaft sensor purge valve, new throttle body and MAF sensor. I thought maybe cats dirty removed them and cleaned them out. Changed spark plugs and coil pack. Still scratching my head any suggestions? All of those parts were codes I had not got around to changing and some I just needed to change anyway.
@@whodi2012 My suggestion: DON'T EVER replace any part without CONFIRMING it's failure! (You can inadvertently CREATE a new problem!) If an engine CRANKS, lack of starting has NOTHING to do with a WORKING starter. You've spent hundreds of $$$ unnecessarily My advice, bring it to a mechanic. (it will cost you less)
I have a 2010 Acadia the starter alternator and battery have been changed. But now when I go to start it.. it is just clicking now. Prior to this I was driving down the road got up to 60 mph and it made a noise and died down and lost all power. I’m at a loss on what else it could be any way anyone could get back to me on this. Thank you
As with MOST cars today.... listening to how a dealership says to take car of a car, WILL destroy it. CHANGE YOUR OIL WHEN IT IS NO LONGER TRANSLUCENT! That's pretty much all a car needs... REGULAR FLUID CHANGES. These engines ARE NOT FORGIVING.

Trying to give the DIYer the insight to do their own...
I said the same thing 5-6 minutes into the video. I shall subscribe. I like this guy.

This one was different.... not a real easy one.

The name of the game is 'make room' to move.... How, is up to you....

Well done, and your diagnostic skills were spot on
Glad you enjoyed it!

They definitely didn't make it easy to get at!
Thank you Sr for show me this part of the repair God bless you🙏🙏❗️
Just a different way of getting it done....
You are the best buddy … Congratulations!!!
Just showing how things can be a lot different than what was expected...
Well done. Thanks for the help on this!

Great info and tutorial. Thanks!
There are other ways of doing this also. This just happens to be the way I chose to do it. Hope you found it helpful!
How many of you were curious what an alternator would have to do with cranking?

It makes sense since the pulley got locked up💯
Thanks for the insight and motivation.
This is one of those jobs where you get all the tools ready, and then take your time...It's definitely a challenge.
Thanks for your help
Glad to be able to help! Thanks for watching!
Great Job!
Thank You for Watching! (This one was very unusual)
About how long does it take 3-4 hrs thanks for the video
Due to fighting with the bottom fasteners on the wheel well, having been rusted solid and breaking off... about that long...
Good job
Thanks!
Red fender on your Corolla. Accident?
Yep. 55mph into a cross running doe. The only thing that didn't break/bend, was the frame rails.

If this problem is ongoing, I'd recommend going to a garage for assistance. DO NOT go to an auto parts store for advice.
Check to make sure the connections are all tight!
Having same issue dos you ever figure it out?
A bad and failed car with many problems and malfunctions.
