Thanks for the speedy reply I was planning on the belt but did not know about a "kit" Value your input so will go with the full kit Thanks Noticed that there are two different units Oreily's here has either one at $190.00 Thanks again |
Re: Alternator
I think I paid $120 for the belt tensioner alone, back when my Graphite started making funny noises.

Thanks for all the help Don't forget to disconnect the negative battery cable before you start, wouldn't want that big positive alternator cable end coming in contact with the frame anywhere - can you say Crossfire flambeau ? |

Re: Alternator
Thanks for all the much needed input.
Fan shroud out. Two bolts out. How does the unit now come out?? Battery is also disconnected. |
Re: Alternator
You may have to pry on the bolt sleeves a bit to get the unit to drop from the mounts.
Next step is to kinda rotate it around so you can remove the bolt-on wire and the plug-in harness. Then you just fiddle with it until it comes out. |

Re: Alternator
Finally out.
Sure not like the good old 60's when everything was upfront and easy to get at. Still love the car. Ordered a direct replacement from DB Electric. Take a day longer to get here than AutoZone or Oreily but $100.00 cheaper Same warranty and all. So now wait Thanks again to you all for the great advice. Much appreciated |

Re: Alternator
I got mine from NAPA in five hours. But that's cause I live near Atlanta, these NAPA stores get daily deliveries around 11-2pm, if you order by 8am, it's here same day.
ALmost makes up for the TRAFFIC here...... |
Re: Alternator
Thanks to all for their input
Went from water pump to altnerator and a new battery Also added the belt/ pulley and tensioner Thanks again |
