This is soo much easier then going from the top! Off to go do this now I'll let you know how it goes thanks!
I've watched a couple videos on this subject as I have to do this job tomorrow. Your video was the most comprehensive one I've found, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve done the whole job just by taking the coolant fan out and it comes right out you only have to go underneath the vehicle to remove the belt in the one alternator bolts on the bottom; it’s real easy to take the coolant fan out also
I did the same thing. seems easier removing the fan and taking out the alt. from the top.
I’ve done it 3 times now ,I can do the job in less than a hr now
@@jasonphillips572 yeah it's easier. The only disappointment was the alternator cost me 370.00 without core. The most I ever spent on one.
Yes, don’t touch the AC compressor, take the cooling fan out!!
glad i watched one more how to thanks from michigan.
My son and I did the job today. Your video was spot on, everything went well with the job. Thanks again!
Glad to hear that it helped you out Nick. Thanks for the kind words.
Aloha.
Got my 2015 Dodge Caravan's new alternator spinning like a record! Just in time for that Mardi Gras season Uber/Lyft driving money. Couldn't have done it without your video. Many thanks! 🔧🚙💨
Aloha Andrew,
Glad you found the video helpful.
Thanks for the kind words.
Mahalo,
Mike
Very informative and nice pace
Excellent video! I usually watch several TH-cam videos before I do a job I haven't done before. This one was the most helpful. Various comments were also very helpful.
Aloha Mr. O
It is always a good idea to watch multiple videos and read approved documentation (workshop manuals and etc.) before doing a job. Some videos may emphasize different things, change the order of operations or describe a completely different method of getting the job done.
I elected to go the route I did even though it takes longer because as vehicles age plastic and rubber parts become brittle/hard and are more easily damaged when moved/removed (think cooling system parts). Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for the great comments.
Mahalo,
Maverick Mike.
I did it without removing any of the studs. If you pull the fan up a bit, you can slide the AC compressor off the studs and over. The alternator will slide off of the lower stud once the top bolts and the nut on the stud are removed. It's a tight slide, but it's easier to slide back onto the studs that hold them in place.
Really good video production and detailed instructions.
Glad you liked it!
Outstanding video and very clear instructions! Couldn't have done it without you!
Glad it helped!
Great Camera Work
Great video but I prefer to take the radiator hose off and slide it through the top takes me about 30 minutes!
Aloha Rose,
Yes, that's a great option to save time.
Thanks for the nice comments.
Mahalo,
Mike.
Awesome. Your video really helped me.
Aloha Bob, glad you enjoyed it! Please share it with someone. Mahalo.
Aloha! Thank you for the video, mr. Tomorrow I am replacing my alternator on my Dodge. I will update my comment when I am done.
@@robertasnovikas Aloha, Good luck I hope it helps you.
jus remove the fan and it will come out the top smh. You workin too hard mate
Do you have to remove the stud bolts from the A/C compressor, or can you leave them in?
So, yea... You have to remove the stud bolts from the A/C compressor. Lol
Unscrew the AC compressor studs from the engine block. I took the studs out of the compressor which gave me a bit more room to get the AC compressor out. I know there is not much room to work with there. Good luck.
Just had one done $1,017 dollars got ripped but was traveling at a dealership 🤬 wasn’t a dodge part had to get one from Parts house dealer didn’t have one in stock
Wow! Ouch that hurts..
I tried that moving the compressor the radiator it in the way
Aloha Robert,
It certainly is a confined area to work in. If necessary remove the radiator but be careful to avoid damaging any of the cooling system parts.
Good luck!
300.00 alternator. expensive.
