Rare to got any car-related repairs done in an hour. I must’ve surely fucked something up.
Now to rebuild the old one! It still looks pretty clean.
I replaced the alternator on my truck.

No OP’s actually part of the backup team. The alternate alternator alternator

Was it a difficult job? I know they can be a tight fit sometimes. Especially on some trucks where they don’t give you any room in-between the motor and radiator

Not really. I removed the intercooler hose and an air duct out of the way and there was a decent amount of room to do it from the top.

Nice, bout the same experience as mine. Nice and exposed. My starter motor on the other hand… Fuck ever doing that again

I like that cart.

Thanks. I made it myself. Turned out to be quite the conversation piece as it gets a ton of comments from my customers.

I hope there was space. :)
I once had to replace an alternator on a Peugeot 308, ended up cursing and got a cold (was working in a snow storm as the car was needed next day) because it was impossible to fit my hands where I had to work, so everything was super slow.
