Rare to got any car-related repairs done in an hour. I must’ve surely fucked something up.
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.
actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago So you swapped in… an alternate 😎
OP is the alternator alternator
No OP’s actually part of the backup team. The alternate alternator alternator
Release the cart pics!
Now to rebuild the old one! It still looks pretty clean.
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
Glad to hear it went well, good job on the fix 👍
👏 bravo ! I have done it myself too and it was a shore.
Cart tour when?

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.
