Thanks so much. My brother & I changed his alternator on his mustang thanks to this video. It was our first time swapping it out and your video was extremely helpful. We had the laptop under the hood pausing your video and following it step by step lol
ik this vid is quite a bit old but i just bought an 05 for a quick daily before i get a newer one and this vid helped out so much! thank you so much! you earned a sun man
Good vídeo, thanks! After several calls to AAA and technicians didn't fix the problem, I saw your video, and I fixed the problem in less than an hour, now back to the road ;) thx!!
Good vid! Just did alternator swop on an 05. Main bolts were stuck. But a little shot of PBBlast fixed that. Hardest thing was the plug. as for the belt routing, no sweat. Just go rib-to-rib, smooth-to-smooth.
Thanks for the tip! hey uh, if you wanna do a single turbo setup, ill be uploading a video on the bolt-on kit as well as the link to buy an extra one i have left over.
Thank you for posting the V6 version - i dont have experience wrenching my car, but damn this seems too easy to take to a shop to get shafted over 😂 Thank you
I was going to take it to the shop but I watched this video and I'll just do it myself and save a couple hundred euro. If you were near me I'd buy you a drink!
It looks like desert roads there, must be a nightmare to keep your sweet ride clean, its bad enough with regular rds. I live on the east coast but never drive in winter. my 2011 mustang never seen snow or salt but my aluminum hood is bubbling at the edge. I'm furious ford will not fix it its a known problem with ford since 2005. if anyone has this problem google ford corrosion issues, you have to get a lawyer to sue ford to fix but no guarantee it wont come back. I don't think ill own another ford after how I been treated by ford, they don't care about their customers.
Oh man, I hope so. I'm editing videos on how to install turbos, so I hope that I've gotten better at showing people how to do these things quick and easy. Just trying to make it easy for the next guy.
I have a option to buy alternator remanufactured from NAPA for 300 and lifetime warrenty, and install myself, or get garage to do it for 350 but they give only 12mnds warrenty and its also remanufactured. I be going with life time warrenty option and thanks to your video install myself ;)
Your new alternator slid in really easy, but mine got stuck. It looks like I had to slide both slots through at the same time. Now I can’t move it cuz it’s stuck half way! Lol
jacob anderson so I looked up on it some more, and it looks like it’s common issue, because the brackets warp slightly to the original alternator. So a couple of good whacks with a rubber mallet where the brackets go through and it slid down. I didn’t see any damage on the threading either. So in case anyone else goes through this maybe it’ll help.
Rodney Gonzalez Oh, you're welcome! Wish someone did that for me when I needed to change mine the first time around. It just seemed so scary, but it's actually easy.
Edvandro Cruz The answer is simple: I have no idea..... it came with the car. But base on my findings, it's been welded together by someone who knew what he as doing. this custom exhaust is unlike any other I've ever heard on a 2005-2009 V6 Mustang.
Ok why did you take the air duct off the intake, was it to make it easier for the camera to see? I just changed my 2005 and it took more time to get the connector off the alternator , than to remove the bolts and nuts. My mustang had a shield over the alternator, the only function that i can think of is to keep water out of it, but on the other hand it seems it would keep air from cooling it, and make it more prone to damage due to heat build up.
Coy Hilron Removing the intake made it easier reach in and to see. Yeah, that plug can be a total pain, but using dielectric grease on the locking part of it will make sure it doesn't get stuck, and it'll also water proof a little.
jacob anderson thanks, i found after screwing with the connector for 20 minutes, that if i took my glasses off ....lol i could see that sliding a small screw driver beside the connector, not in the hole , it came off very easy... lol Great looking car!
Tamara Sykes I think I'll make a quick video for you so that both our information isn't exposed. There's going to be a turbo in the way. But I'll do what I can.
Apparently there's a problem with the Mustangs between the years 05 and 14 V6 & GT. ebay.com/itm/2005-2014-GT-4-6-V6-4-0-Mustang-Clutch-piece-replacement-Stainless-Steel-/162419388363?nav=SELLING_ACTIVE If you've got a manual, AKA stick shift: There's a plastic piece that will break on you and it can happen anytime anywhere! I just happen to have a few made out of steel, Do yourself a favor and get one and throw it in the trunk, because you are going to need it
Alexander Zubiate Yes, There will be demos to an integrated retractable spoiler (spoiler alert). Single and twin turbo vids. And I know this next one sounds ridicules, but I'm now starting to work on an R/C Mustang project.

Marquis Jackson

I changed my altenator today alone thanks to you bro 💯💯💪💪🤌🤌
Thanks for the video insanely helpful! It sucks living on a dirt road
XxTR1CELLxX
Right?
I'm glad this video helped you
No, do not loosen the tension bolt. I did that in a different video, because mine was loose and i wanted to readjust it for my applications anyway.
How do you get the belt off then?
@ramonetylar5212 the way demonstrated in the video. You're not loosening anything you're just taking tension off the spring.
Thank you very much for posting this. It was an awesome guide!
Oh man, I hope so. I'm editing videos on how to install turbos, so I hope that I've gotten better at showing people how to do these things quick and easy.

👍I approve this video
Why tank you!
This video was super helpful bro. Why pay a mechanic when you can do it am i right 🙌🏽
absolutely sir!
you should get your engine bay detailed
Where do I go to do that?
Any torque specs for the alternator bolts and nut?
Thank you for saving me $150!

Oh shoot! What the heck? Can you W-D40 it? Not the regular kind but the silicon lubricant.

Happened to me too. I was so fed up at that point I took a mallet and am smacked the living shit out of it
Bro wtf😐 i was about to pay 350$ to get it changed, ive never touched my car, and this literally too me about 30 mins🤦🏽♂️
That's a good thing right?
Saved 150$ so yeah it was a good thing lol thanks

What kind of exhaust system do you have? It sounds like a gt...
Edvandro Cruz
The answer is simple:
I have no idea.....
it came with the car. But base on my findings, it's been welded together by someone who knew what he as doing.
this custom exhaust is unlike any other I've ever heard on a 2005-2009 V6 Mustang.

I removed the engine cover because I'm always modifying something in there.
jacob anderson thanks, i found after screwing with the connector for 20 minutes, that if i took my glasses off ....lol i could see that sliding a small screw driver beside the connector, not in the hole , it came off very easy... lol
Great looking car!
Coy Hilron
Lol, thanks. there's more changes coming to this car soon.
I mistakenly broke my harness to my alternator bought a new one having problems putting it on mine has 2 yellow and orange jus like yours
Tamara Sykes You broke your harness?
Tamara Sykes I think I'll make a quick video for you so that both our information isn't exposed. There's going to be a turbo in the way. But I'll do what I can.
Tamara Sykes Here is quick video of the electrical harness. th-cam.com/video/jygUX284fFI/w-d-xo.html
What size tires and rims width do u have bro
The wheels are 20 x 11.
Along with: 1.5" spacers in the front and 2" inch spacers in the back
any idea what the torque specifications are for those bolts?
Renownedd Official
those bolts don't need to be very tight. maybe 10-15lbs of torque?
Renownedd Official
the positive cable to the alternator even less. probably 7lb
when you say the two bolts are 1 half at 1:24 do you mean 1 1/2 inch for the socket size? I am going to be doing this 2maro for my brother
Renownedd Official
the socket size is 1/2
Think about it as: two halfs would be a whole. I said it was a only one half, so it's one of these .5
okay thank you very much
Do you still sell these kits?
Yes I do
You mean the turbo kits right?
How the hell do you get the 1/2 bolts off the alternator? i have an impact wrench and it wont budge
Geez!
Mine came right off.
Could that have been loads of heat that keeps it on there?
Hope nobody glued those in???
Have you Tried more torque with WD-40?
let the WD-40 sit for while.
+ jacob anderson I think I got it, I got a deep impact socket with the Breaker bar and the two came loose. Now it's on to the 15 mm.
Cool!

If you've got a manual, AKA stick shift:
There's a plastic piece that will break on you and it can happen anytime anywhere!
I just happen to have a few made out of steel,
Do yourself a favor and get one and throw it in the trunk,
because you are going to need it
What brand of alternator is it???
Alexander Zubiate
Not sure... the EBAY alternators last longer than AutoZone, and are $60 averagely. So I buy those.
jacob anderson thanks for the vid. Very helpful. Any more upgrade vids?
Alexander Zubiate
Yes, There will be demos to an integrated retractable spoiler (spoiler alert). Single and twin turbo vids. And I know this next one sounds ridicules, but I'm now starting to work on an R/C Mustang project.
what's the name of the wheels
