I was going to pull the fan and shroud to get access. Thanks for the tips and assurance that it would come out with some extra grunt. One thing i do to make jobs like this a touch easier is to put a couple of drops on the bolts at the start of the threads. Assembly is much smooth for those finger tip starting positions and easier to make certain you are not cross threading while in a bind.
that was a very energetic video. i am shocked at how good it is. you should charge for your vast knowledge. you always have a positive attitude that helps keep negative people away. you are like a modern day native indian and the trailblazer is the buffalo. you are using every bit of that carcass. nothing goes to waste
You can guide a rachet or a socket wrench through the fan to work the bottom bolt. Also, it helped me a lot to have the bottom bolt put in place first before putting the new alternator in.
For anyone watching this, he's absolutely right except for the bottom bolt, its a major pain in the ass, before you start this shit endeavor, go find of purchase a 15mm shorty wrench, life will be easier.?.
Man, last time i changed the alternator in the trailblazer i removed the battery and all sorts of stuff. Im gonna try to do it today withourlt removing all the extra stuff.
My guage will read 14 then drop 2-3 white lines and go back up right away... its constant like up down over and over ... could it b a bad alternator or what suggestions first... battery is about 3 years old maybe less..
Bad enough some ghetto rigged linkage,bolt missing from backside of one of the three for the bracket 😡. Bought it a few months ago and making sure it runs good 👍
Thanks! I’m having a problem with intermittent battery light although no loss of power and trying to figure out if it’s the alternator or battery before I start throwing money at it!
Never say something is easy. It's hard, very hard. Especially the bolt on the bottom. The stupid thing is the hoses infront of it. In mine 2005 the end of those hoses are aluminum. Not bending. Now add a sprained elbow or not the right tools. Every case is different
Bruh that bottom bolt is a bitch. I try every motherf***** angle. That shit right there separate the boys from man. And putting back in was even harder… I don’t even know if it’s important…. part of me said do I really need this piece, for safety reason I put it…. But gawd damn
The battery should be fully charged before replacing the alternator because the alternator can over heat charging a battery that low and shorten the life of it.

Are you proud of your analogy
Thanks James. I appreciate the support and comments over the years 👍
@James Hall I agree.

Chevy guy, Indians fan, comical...you sir have a new sub
Awesome thank you!
Hey thanks for the video. I've done this previously on other vehicles but this is the first time I need to change the alternator on my Trailblazer.
Thanks buddy my alternator just went out and I looked up a video and tapped on yours thank you buddy.
I’m a noob to mechanic work, so this gave me a little bit better understanding of the alternator.
Thanks! God bless. :)
Thanks for your video that's what I was looking for...this is Chris from Port arthur tx.
Another mission accomplished by handy dandy Dan.
Just a diy dude...an everyday real mechanical hero 😂👍
Replacing mine tomorrow morning. Thx

Sounds like somebody wants inside... I hear them knocking....LOL
Just did mine yesterday.Should have worn gloves.When you are all tore up, it's a good pain when the job is done right 👍

This was especially important to me thank you very much
Having a wonderful time and holy moment 2024Colorado USA
I have replaced my alternator 2 times and removed it more than I can remember for other projects. I can do it blindfolded by now lol
That would make for an interesting challenge video 😂👍
@@TheDaninator I wouldnt try to undo the battery blindfolded though :P . I loved your bounce challenge
Thank you your video was very helpful even to put it back in appreciate you making the video
Great video. Thank you.
That parts fail blazer sure has come in handy
Yessir, and it’s still got plenty of meat on the bones. 😎👍
Man, last time i changed the alternator in the trailblazer i removed the battery and all sorts of stuff. Im gonna try to do it today withourlt removing all the extra stuff.
The Failblazer isn’t re-volting!
Now we all know the answer to what everyone was wondering... tighty whities.
Great videos.
Success today with your help. Thank you. Kick the thing in its lugnutz
where you can get the rebuild kit, so you can refresh the internal parts ( brushes, rectifier, regulator ) and maybe the bearings
Very helpfull....
From Pakistan 🇵🇰
your video helped me out thanks. But there was one other step I had to do. I have a 2007 GMC envoy 4.2.
after you replace the afternator how long do it take for the car to reset
Great video I appreciate thank you sir
I have the same knocking noise coming from the engine just like yours, any idea what it could be?
My guage will read 14 then drop 2-3 white lines and go back up right away... its constant like up down over and over ... could it b a bad alternator or what suggestions first... battery is about 3 years old maybe less..
Maybe the connection is loose? mine was doing that too but then it would just sputter and die.
alternator transmiter should change
I have changed 3 brand new Alternators all within a week on my trailblazer but still overcharging? What can cause this?

I know this is an old video but have you ever had a problem with it drawling power and dying at night?
Thanks! I’m having a problem with intermittent battery light although no loss of power and trying to figure out if it’s the alternator or battery before I start throwing money at it!
Did u find out which one was the problem the battery or the alternator?
@@williamcoleman7601 It was the Battery !
What's that knocking at 9:30. My truck does that too. Been trying to figure that out.🤔🤔🤔
That’s the actuator motor for the a/c in the rear of the vehicle.
Is that good or bad hearing that
thank you, see you
5/8, 16mm works fine
When you click so fast the resultion is 360p
Any faster and it may have been in black and white!
