    hey all, I normally am not under the hood of my truck as it has been such a great truck to me! I normally spend my wrench turning “abilities” under the cowling of usually mid 50’s model Cessna 182’s but my alternator went out yesterday on Tonka yes his name is Tonka Toy! I hear its a pain but literally have not even got past the idler pulley so you have to have a tension device or will a breaker bar work?

    Probably easier than removing the exhaust manifold. @bmf4069 said he could have it stripped down to the starter in 45 minutes! Not bad!

    Hell yeah I could! But I believe we're talking about an alternator. If you're pulling either manifold for that, you're going the wrong way!

    OK maybe I threw everything off track! Do you have to remove the exhaust manifold to get to the alternator?

    Greetings and welcome to the board from deep down here in Dixie.

    You do know that all you need is a $15 set of new brushes for the alternator........most likely. That's the wearing part. They will want you to pay $300 - $600 for an entire alternator PLUS your old one ("core"). When all you need to do is pop the basket off, pull out the old brushes and put in the new brushes. Good to go.
