I don't think they are that hard to change yourself.


It takes about 10-15 minutes to change. Plug the new one in before you start on the four mounting bolts. It took me an additional 4 hours to hitch a ride 50 miles round trip from Fruitdale, AL to Waynesboro, MS to get the alternator.

Spin the alternator on the rebuilt one while at Advance. The first one they gave me the bearings started squealing within 2 weeks. I returned it and the second one had a bad feeling bearing when I spun it in the store. They didn't have another rebuilt in stock so they gave me a new non-rebuilt one and it's been good.
