Very well executed, and explained !! You didn't have to waste your time to show dummies like me how to change out this alternator. But, I am so glad you did. Thank you for your time and hard work. 👍👍
This video saved me some time and cash. Thanks alot. When i did mine the engine mount doesn’t have to come out. Idk how to upload a photo to this comment but I pulled mines out with the alternator pulley facing the front of the car and twist the flexible fuel line so it’s as close to the firewall as possible and it slides right out.
BRO. Thank you! Such an easy guide. Got my 2018 with 2 12 JLs in the back waiting for me to replace the 150 amp stock to a 240+ amp alternator so my headlights stop dimming at high volume. I have yet to finalize which one to buy but at least now I know where to look for when I do purchase and am ready to install. God bless and thank you brotha!
You're very welcome you might want to also get a dry cell battery in the trunk as well as a capacitor that will also help the drain on your headlights🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@roadstoriches5611 fasho thanks for the rec I was looking at capacitors as well as a solution. Im only running 1,000 watt system so will see where the alternator takes me as battery setup with capacitor would set me back about twice the price of just boosting the alternator. In your opinion which is more important if you had to choose one?
And keep in mind im not competition minded and only looking for the power while engine running. Most things I have read point me to either capacitor or the alternator but wanted to get your take. Will be double checking my battery which is original. Its 2018 model so battery could be from 2017 so nearly at end of life. Will be checking and possibly upgrading once it bites the dust for higher capacity. Will also be checking for corrosion at connections as system is over 1 year old now. We gucci on the gauge of wire they some phatties. Just need to address that light dim with the performance drop at high volume while running.
Right on bro. I have a 2014 2.5l Mali. Gonna be changing the alternator in it. Same engine as that impala there. Got the new alternator from eBay off an impala with 7 miles on it. Probably gonna attempt the removal and installing tonight if I get off work in time. UPS is crazy with Christmas right now.
Make sure to take a picture of it before you take it off and you can also Google the diagram to see the pattern and to make it a little easier you can also rent a belt removal tool from Advance Auto Parts.
what is a good jack point under the engine for when you take the engine mount out? any special location? obviously not the pan area lol but just wondering? I"m going to do mine soon.
The hardest part is getting the belt back on because of the tension yet you didn’t explain where & how to do the tension release to put the belt back on…
Damn Im 3 hours in Jax,Fl I have a 2014 impala LS & miness suddenly went out today😭....Thank God I have a second vehicle till I get the time to get it to the shop.
@@roadstoriches5611 not yet I'll be taking it on friday....was trying not to pay that shop price....I did find somebody buttt they ain't on point...Im hella ready to get back in my impala cuz the AC on my Merc only blow cold on the highway😂
Okay I was asking cuz I had to pass through Jacksonville to get to Tallahassee few days ago I could have stopped by and put that alternator in within an hour..
@@thatgirl6472 and the reason your Mercury only blows cold on the highway is because you're condenser may be blocked or it may not have enough freon in the system or it also could be your orifice tube has a blockage..
This video merits a two-thumbs up for how good and detailed it was.

@@roadstoriches5611 dope. Thank you so much.
You're welcome you got this💪🏾
I found out the hard way by not putting locktight on those bolts...some how the top 2 came out and screwed everything up...
Appreciate it for the tip💯
Damn worst location GM put it too deep on the 10th gen, im so blessed my 9th gen is just in front of me next to the dang battery and fuse box lol
Amen 🙏🏾
what is a good jack point under the engine for when you take the engine mount out? any special location? obviously not the pan area lol but just wondering? I"m going to do mine soon.
Find a spot on the block and use a wooden block and you'll be fine every car is different so hard to say exactly where..
My friend is having trouble removing the serpentine belt. What size of drive are you using to remove it? Thanks!
Half inch ratchet was used to insert inside the pulley tensioner no socket I use the ratchet half inch head
So change my alternator on my 2013 impala and didn’t get a picture of how the belt runs; can’t find the diagram.. dang
Hey you should be able to Just Google 2013 Chevy Impala belt diagram and look at images..
Did you have to jack up engine or just put jack to hold it where it was?
Yes put a jack under with a block of wood and supported the engine in place..
What code came up to know it was the alternator or symptoms of the car to replace it
If you crank it up or jump it and take off one of the battery terminal and it cuts off bad alternator
Thanks bro👍
Welcome 👍
Question why you had to take the engine holder off for?
It made it easier to access to remove the motor bracket you may not have to remove it but it gives you more access to work with..
Kool

Glooks with the video nbs

I'll make sure to show in the next video sorry for that..

@@roadstoriches5611 awww man dang I wish I would have seen your reply sooner😣.
How much you charge for this?
Depending on your location you will be looking at around $150
Go Ahead 14 times in the first 43 seconds.. so go ahead
😅 Sorry it's a southern thing I grew up with
Why don't you go ahead and tell us the size of the engine
Thanks for the comment I'll keep that in mind for the next video but I know it was a V6 though if that helps
