I keep a kind of long 12mm bolt with 2 washers and a 12mm nut to "press" those alternator bolt guides back instead of hammering them. I leave it on my cart since j do enough elternators. Especially the Toyotas since they have the nut on the alternator and sometime rebuilt come with the nut way too pressed in where it won't fit onto brakes on engine worked like a charm and no hammers lol. Always appreciate the content and congrats on the new tool box and new job 🙌👏🔩🔧
Justin Dow... Great video bro.. When it's customers vehicle we wait for parts. When it's our own we do what we have to do to get back on the road. We've all been there.. Thanks for sharing..
Justin is it just me or is it a mechanics car is always the last to be fixed!! I had a customer who brought his 2002 Buick LeSaber into the dealership I worked at and a ground hog had climbed under the hood and went to town chewing on everything, the reason I know it was a groundhog was it was still there when I opened the the hood!!! The Service manager called the Dog catcher and he came in and got a noose on it and got it out of the engine bay, that thing had to weigh 30 pounds!!! Cheers and Dueces!!!
@@k9under I'm not sure, Ground Hogs here in Indiana like to dig holes to get under stuff and they chew up everything they can, they average about 30 to 40 pounds here and have some nasty teeth!!
Man I’m telling the rat tape is magic! I’ve broke so many ears using the hammer punch method to the brackets. I find it the best way as well! Good work Justin good ole Chevy man
With that wiring issue you had. That defaults the charging system on gm’s and lots of other newer cars. And why it charges higher then you would want. Wouldn’t leave you stranded but never know it could. Needs that circuit in tack to tell pcm and bcm and instrument cluster on how to control charging system. Your old alternator problay was still good.
Thanks for putting out content while so busy. I've purchased alternator pigtails at autozone in-stock so they might have a GM one. Rodents do wondrous electrical work in my neck of the wood also!
Love it og wrenching when you gotta make it work, I've used a butt connector and Electrical tape to hold a broken vacuum line together before and mini vise grips as a battery clamp
Would've loved proof that it worked by maybe starting it LMAO 🤣🤣 But definitely appreciate the video!! 😎👍🏻😁✌🏻 CAN YOU PLEASE LIST THE TOOLS NEEDED TO COMPLETE?? IM GONNA TRY & CHANGE IT TOMORROW!! THANKS AGAIN!! ✌🏻😁👍🏻😎👏🏻🤣
just so you know rebuilding that connector is still a possibility when you decide to go back in there and fix it. I've had to do it on a couple of customer vehicles when a pigtail is unavailable. you take apart the connector and remove the pin. remove the rubber plug that is crimped on to make the connector water tight and then solder a length of copper wire to that little piece left over. and then put it all back together. Not the first choice in repairing harnesses but when there is no pigtail available it is what I opt for
Wow ; good job Just in , Doug here back in the day on the the job doing rebar the boss said do you know how to put in a starter for the work truck 🛻 i said hell yeah door prize baby! And along time ago I went for a dive out in the country after bing released from jail, u know I was a free bird, my u joint went out i new it was going out, and I had the new one in the glove box. But 🤬 no crescent wrench or tools!! I was pissed 😤 but I was free and a ice chest full of beer 🍺 !!! Just happened to be a little shad tree near by. So I relaxed 😎 in the shade waiting for a car to come by!! Finally after the third or fourth car some one stop and had one likety split I put it on and down the road I went!!!

Justin is it just me or is it a

I know it was a groundhog was it
was still there when I opened the
the hood!!! The Service manager
called the Dog catcher and he came
in and got a noose on it and got it
out of the engine bay, that thing
had to weigh 30 pounds!!!

That's a lot of ears.
@@DarthVader1977 you must not work automotive
Make a puller with a 19mm socket, a bolt, a nut, and a washer. No more broken ears.

Thanks for the tip I’ll check with them today 🍻😎🤙
What an honest vid, glad you shared.
I learn more from my mistakes
Dawm Justin I got worried when you hit them tangs with the punch & hammer, I’ve seen them ears on that bracket crack & break off plenty of times
Thanks for Vid, Quick question... Do I have to use a torch wrench and belt tensioner tool?? Please help!?
There is a reason why I don't store my rodents in my engine bay.
Wow, Excellent Video
Thanks!
Instead of using a hammer, I use a puller consisting of a 19mm socket, a bolt, a nut, and a washer. Pushes them through every time.
Kinda Same idea but I use a socket and c-clamp. I like yours probably a little handier.
I have done the C-clamp and impact socket thing.

just out of curiosity is there junk yards out your way where you can pull parts from?
There are 2 both are about 45min in either direction

Awsome thanks mate
Yet another awesome video! Lol
Congratulations your human!
How’s your AC condenser?
Hey you owned up to it and got it back in the road that's what matters
cool
What the hell just did this 3 days ago but you don't wach my videos so you would not know .I even message you on a comment .on your video 👍🇨🇦
Sorry Brotha. I subscribed to your channel. You know things be crazy for me at the moment. I'm overwhelmed at the moment.
14.75 after starting no load and cold doesn't bother me at all. Whats funny is PB Blaster is made in Ohio and Fluid Film is made in California.
14.7 is ideal charging voltage.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing your very helpful information. Cheers!
@@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway aye got a reply tho 🤣🍻
YO he said 😂😂😂😂😂
If you have or use crimper like that you need to go back to square one
As soon as he started pounding on the back of the bushings I had enough I had to stop watching
