There may be a loose wire or loose ground somewhere. Also check the switch and the fuses to see if they are okay.
Thank you man!! Very STR8 forward
If there's a check engine light on in the dash you may want to pull the code to see what could be causing the issue.
This is a extremely simple procedure for me and yet still before I headed out to get started I combed through your video to see what size wrenches to grab. Thanks for these videos. I have been watching them for probably close to a decade to keep my cars on the road. If I would buy my parts before they wore out I would get them from you guys.
Thank you for you video.
If it hasn't been tuned up in a while, you may want to start with a simple tune up.
A no start is something that will be difficult to diagnose but I recommend bringing the truck to someone before you start throwing parts at a problem.
Thanks so much! Just finished changing out my alternator. Only took about half hour thanks to your video.
Thank you so much for your video, it helped me change my fellas alternator. Very easy just like you showed. Although I would like to mention the nut which came with the new alternator was a 12mm, lucky we had a 12mm wrench with us! Thanks dude saved us time and money!!
What are the two wrench sizes
i'm mechanically inclined enough to get me around in little situations. i thought changing an altenator was more complicated than this. thank you so much for this video. keep them coming.
You may want to see if there is a stored code in the computer that may tell you what the issue is.
@18WheelTerrorist I'm not 100% sure. I'm not aware of or have seen anyone make this kind of a swap. You may want to check out an automotive forum for your vehicle to see if there's someone out there that has done this. They may be able to tell you exactly what you would need.
@starbuary10 I will be doing this in the future. I have an 86 GMC Jimmy of my own that I am going to upgrade the heads, cam, intake and carb on but that won't be until later in 2010.
Thanks, we're trying!
Just replaced alternator, gauge reading high in orange and jerking when I try to pull off, could this be an bad alternator?
@sansonj72 Sometimes you have to wiggle the alternator around a bit as you turn the bolt.
Awesome video. Just changed out the alternator on my 2003 Silverado. Instructions were perfect. Thanks!
THANK YOU>>>>once again you come through for me. ...helped my neighbor do this; and he bought me a nice set of jumper cables for the help!
Thanks for watching our videos. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Thanks!! This video helped out heaps. I changed my 99 Tahoe alternator with this vid.
Thank you for watching. Glad we could help. Please let us know how the repair comes out!

Excellent video, thanks!!! You saved me a ton of time, I probably would've broken that stud had I not heard the need for 2 wrenches... Thanks!
Fantastic video. I canceled my appt at the mechanic after watching this and decided to try it on my own. The worst issue I had was getting the bolt holes lined up. 30 minutes later and I was done. Great service to the common man you provide.
Thank you for listing the wrench/socket sizes off the top - so helpful!
What a great video!! Thanks a million!! Step by Step exactly as I needed to do on my Chevy Silverado 1500 with the Vortec V-8 motor.
Now if you would do a Replacing Power Steering Pump on the same motor I would be set. Many videos and instructions but not for my style assembly and no where as clear of instructions as you do. Again Thanks for the long distance help!!
You may want to refer to your owners manual to see what they recommend.
Ja 96 to 01? Still riding down streets 2021 out here

I put the alternator in place and now I'm having a hard time putting the belt back on . What's the easiest way to do that ?
awesome video, saved me some dough!
I had an alternator put in my 98 K3500 in Nov and it's been acting flaky...I paid over $260 for the whole deal. With your video I was able to put a new alternator in for just the price of the alternator, $130 and a little bit of time. Thanks.
PS, In the list of tools put 2 12 mm wrenches. Thanks again.
this only has one wire why
What a great video! This will save me some dough.
Great video!! Very helpful.
It should be a 3/8 drive ratchet. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
so apparently somehow missed the lesson about the 2 wrenches to remove the rear wire from the alternator, thats way i had to do it the hard way, well lesson learned
I just instaled a new alternator. As I was attaching the wire on the back of the alternator I had planned on using two wrenches just as you said, but noticed that the post sticking out of the back of the alternator was already loose. I turn it one turn clockwise to tighten it, but it just seemed to spin with a very light drag. Since I was unsure if there was a wire attached to the back of it inside the alternator, I stopped attempting to tighten it. I then attached the wire using two wrenches to tighten it to the stud, but the stud itself is still loose. What do you suggest? Is there an easy fix that does not violate the warranty, or do I just need to exchange it? The alternator is under warranty.
what rachet set did u use to relieve that tension pulley
Thanks for the ratchet on tensioner tip! After failing with several other items I turned to YouTUbe and you.
I didn't know where to direct the question regarding a possible electical problem at initial start up of my 1999 Suburban. Recently during a cold start, I turn my key ignition to the on position before starting. I usually wait a few seconds before starting up the engine. Immediately after starting, I smell a burning electrical smell through my interior blower vents for about 5 seconds and then it stops. The smell reminds me of a hot wire burning or hot electrical motor. The interior blower fan seems to be working fine. Would you have any clues on where to check in the interior or the engine compartment? Is this a common problem on older GM Trucks? I drove it for a while this last weekend and when the car is operating for some time, it doesn't smell when I shut the car off for 10 minutes and restart it again. Only when it's the first cold start after sitting for more then 5 hours..
You may want to check the plug end that plugs into the blower motor resistor and also the blower motor, to see if the connection is melted, or has been heated up and needs to be replaced. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
This must be the next model up from the 1988 to 1998. My 1996 Silverado Z71's alternator isnt that far down into the motor, it sits on top.
How do You align the bolts to the alternator - I have been trying and trying.
Ok...was able to follow, but the FOCUS sucked
my 92 chevy silverado 1500 has a problem when I put it in gear it will shut off I have put a new fuel pump on it and several sensors still doing the same please help me out
Would going from a 105 amp alternator to a 140 amp cause any problems?
+Gary Johnston If may if the circuit is not made to handle that kind of a load.
I have 1997 chevy suburban wont work on all light and start too!! I put new battery still wont work? point alternator?
Great video, walked me through the whole job. Had you right there in the garage. Many thanks.
As I was attempting to pry the alternator out, the front ear broke off.
I can't find ANY vids on '94 Silverado 4.3 alternator replacement. I need to replace the serpentine belt and the alternator. Why aren't there any vids for this engine and year????
Thank you for watching. Unfortunately we do not have a video for your application. We will keep this in mind for future videos.

Great information thank you very much.
Thanks for watching. Glad we could help 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
I have a 2003 Chevy Surburban. When I put it in drive, it tends to want to cut off. Could it be the alternator or something else? I put a new battery in.
