Cerberus Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 So my Alternator is smoked. I diagnosed it, but sent it to the dealer because I thought I had a warranty in place. However, the dealer who sold me the vehicle, sold me an 84mo/120,000mile plan which back dated the coverage to date of original purchase and zero miles... I am pretty annoyed by that, but that is not the point here. The dealership where I live now (not the same place) wants $1600 to do the job, to which i said a hearty F*ck that. Parts are on the way. Has anyone here done the job? (Omar? I remember you said yours went bad) Does it have to be done the way the manual suggests? I do have the ford service manual extract pages for this job which talks about dropping the A/C compressor, Comp bracket, belt tensioner, and then the Alt. My question is, do I need to open the system? I have a vacuum pump so its not a huge deal but I'd rather not if I don't have to Also, I was quoted 3.6 hours to do the job which seems high, but I don't have any labor time resources to check with to verify.

Nick Halstead Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 I did mine myself and replaced belt while there. Yeah it sucks. Remove spare tire, unhook AC (which will need filled again) just follow the guide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Sorry, I did not notice my name. I did not have an issue with my Alternator hence I don't have experience. Also I was expecting @Haz to jump in to help, as usual, and reply to you. I hope he is ok and doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, and sorry, my mistake, I forgot to tag you, and apparently mixed you up with Nick in my memory of the post i read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
