in this video I showed the steps and procedures necessary to replace the alternator Honey Ford 5.4 L and 4.6 L engine. This particular vehicle shown in the video is a Ford Expedition 2005. However the same procedures can be used for a Ford F-150. No special tools are required to make this repair however there are a few tips and tricks a show along the way. If you have a car like a Mustang, crown Vic, town car. The air intake and down bracket will appear different. Alternators and these vehicles can fail in various ways. In this video the alternator was over charging the batteries and voltage was reaching above 15 V. It is also important to test the charging voltage after the repair has been made. I hope this video has helped you out if it has please like and subscribe. If you have any questions or comments feel free to leave something in the comment section. Thank you

Traveling on Christmas Eve, my alternator malfunctioned with just one hour left before the parts store closed. Fortunately, I came across your video, followed the instructions, purchased the alternator, and successfully replaced it the same night. Your helpful video made all the difference, and I couldn't have done it without your guidance. Thank you so much for posting - it was a huge help for me.
Nice video. Straight and to the point. No annoying music or extraneous talking. As of now, the best auto tip videos I've watched.
Omg! Exactly. I saw one video that seemed to be great video footage, could see everything perfectly... But I couldn't hear a damn thing over the guy's loud porno music playing!
My man, I have never done more than replace battery, wipers and flats. After I Watched your video (3x), I removed the alternator in less than 30min. Went to Oreillys and Alternator tested bad , as well as , the battery! Got both and Got er’ done in less than two hours for about half the price that Ford dealers were talking bout! Thanks for the vine!!
Great job buddy I’m glad this video helped you out! Thanks for the support
Wow, thanks for the help. Love the video too! Short and to the point. I replaced mine in under an hour and we figure I saved around $400 thanks to this video. You're doing a good thing for people, keep it up!
Tank you!
Great step by step. Thanks. To loosen the tensioner pulley you need a 1/2 “ ratchet. Not a wrench. Made it so much easier for me. 35 minutes. Done
This was a life saver, man. Hardest part was trying to figure out the damned tension pulley. Once you demonstrated that, it was off to the races. Many thanks, Aaron.
This was very clear and helpful, gave me the confidence that it can be done in the garage, Thanks very much for sharing.
thank you for not telling us how you broke down beside the road back in the eighties and given the details of that as well as the time you ate fried chicken under a bus as well as not letting us know about your job, kids, home life and oh the trucks manufactured location importation tag number vin number torque specs etc etc etc... why can't more people on youtube be like this guy??? sorry... had to vent :-/ thanks for the great informative video
Thanks for your help, Aaron. This vid is just what I needed. Took me a couple hours, but most of that was pulling stuff off to get to the alternator (and putting it all back on again.) Jumped started my pickup, and then it started charging the battery. You saved me some serious coin, my friend.
Thanks for the demo. I just replaced my alt in my 2006 ford f-250.
Holy simple! Expecting to dig alot more into this as my wife's car is broke down at her family's house...thank you for the vid!
Best Video on the topic. Thanks a lot. Just replaced my 18yo alternator.. Yeah, 18 years.. 😮
Thank you for the tutorial. It really assisted me in replacing the alternator. The air cleaner does not have to come off in order to accomplish this task, but the m😮ain tube does have to come off. The biggest challenge was finding a long enough breaker bar that had a 1/2" drive that would fit into the belt tensioner. Fortunately, I picked up a 1927 Bogs 1/2" drive socket set at a swap meet last year to go with my 1927 Model T. It fit!
Thanks Aaron for the great straight to the point video saved me time and money 💰 30 minutes and I'm a novice
Nice straight forward vid bro. Was given for FREE a 2006 fx-4 I’m into it for a battery belt and alternator so far. Thanks
Dang that's awesome

good job! I think this task may be in my future soon. Getting low battery warning from the computer. Replaced battery - same code, about once a week. 🙄
Video saved me $150, thank you!
How long did it take?
@@billfletcher2293Only about 30min in the autozone parking lot - They have a belt tension tool that makes getting the belt on an off super easy.
Thank you so much for this video!

Thanks for the upload! I'm going to give it a try today. I'll be replacing the alternator on my 05 Lincoln navigator (5.4 Ford motor) same setup. Thanks again & take care ✌🏻
Good job! Nice vid
Perfect ! Good Man !!
Nice job!
Great info. Thx u.☕️
What a great video
Great video. I changed mine but am still getting the battery light/ check charging system light? Any ideas?
aaron i am your biggest fan
Great Video, I have a question can a failing cause a 07 navigator to go into limp mode??
Do u know if this year has a fuse anywhere for charging , some older ones did but cant find on this year
Thank you
I wish you had been a bit clearer (by showing) about hoses and mass air flow, etc with the other side, and the hose. But as far as bolts and everything, it was pretty clear! I chose to not remove the coolant hose, and I replaced the belt as well, less than 30 minutes
Would u happen to know what amp alternator my 2004 navigator would take? Auto zone says either 110 or 135.
Thanks !
When you remove the slack with the Pully.. does the serpentine belt automatically fall out of order, or can you just rest it and slide it back on. Pretty much, do you have to re do the entire serpentine belt once you give it slack?
This is old. But , when I removed the belt from alt. Pulley, i kept tension on the belt with my hand as I released the tensioner , then used a Bunge (attached to hood)cord to hang the belt out of the way. Belt stayed lined up
Aaron will an alternator from a 2005 ford crown vic 4.6L fit an 2005 f150 4.6L?
Both are 4.6L 2valve motors with W vin.
Would love to see some work done on Dodge RAM's. Especially this alternator testing and checkout and battery, then changing the alternator.
Is the 10mm socket with a ratchet and ½in drive for the tensioner the only tools needed?
Which way to turn the pully tensioner left or right to loosen the tension
Did you loose a lot of antifreeze or just a little? Or did you drain some first?
Thanks brother.... Gonna try to do it tomm...... My only problem is my short ass is gonna need a chair to stand on to do this lol... Good stuff
Lol that's pretty funny, I've got the opposite problem I'm too tall and top heavy and end up with massive back pain 5 minutes in, the solution is just laying a piece of carpet on the lip of the engine bay and just flopping down on it like a walrus.
What is the name of the insulation/heat shield/ gasket thing behind the alternator. Mine is dry rotted and I'm not sure what it is called to get a replacement?
What size are the alternator bolts? Mine snapped
Awsome I heard a lot
Can this be caused to making my truck shake? With bad belt
I am replacing an alternator on my Lincoln Navigator '05. What if my battery is dead ? Will this process allow the battery to charge back up? T.I.A
at 7:14 what is the line running from the air box down its the elbow one
How long did it take to do this?
😢 Life saver
You made e tree that simple.....!!!!TY
Snapped a bolt :)
Nobody says how to reset Check Charging system lights after installation of alternator, ?????
Arron, the online parts store "1aauto", has: 2005 Ford F150 Alternator or Alternator/AC. Is there a different alternator part if your truck has A/C?
Yes
@@victoryowney6625 Thanks for the reply.
Can you write the tools you need please ?
Bleed coolant now🤔🤔
The hardest part is releasing the tension on belt
Dude , always start by spraying down the engine with purple shit, waiting 10 mins. Gingerly rinse away all that grime , sometimes repeat process a few times. Wrap up with blasting the engine with a leaf blower to dry it out thoroughly and instantly... then begins working on engine.. it just helps so much in soo many ways ... try it out next time
Nice job. I hope that wasn’t a car-done alternator. :)
Nope!
I hope it's as easy as you made it look lol
Sure is bud!
@@AaronHinesAuto well thankfully you were right. The only problem I had was not having the 1/2" pry bar for the tensioner
Ya it’s amazing how strong that tensioner is
Got a 2007 f150 5.4L I’m here because my battery light keeps coming on and off
Have the same issue. Did you figure out the issue?
@@brycecouling386 nope
@@brycecouling386
I had the same problem and the alternator was the problem!!
Horrible video missing while steps
Thanks you very appreciated 👍🏾
