re: Changing an alternator out on a truck.

It just depends on the vehicle. Some manufacturers put it in an accessible location while others you may have to remove other parts to get to the alternator or to pass the alternator to get into position.
I changed the one on my Honda Odyssey. There were 2 bolts holding it up, but I had to move the power steering reservoir and radiator overflow to slide the old alternator out and the new alternator in. The other hassle was the serpentine belt and getting that thing routed properly.

It's really not terrible just do your research if it is a newer vehicle. I had to change my F150 battery and had to run jumper cables from the wifes car to my battery cables because if you swap the battery without keeping 12 volts on the system the computer would have had to be programmed to learn the new battery and charging parameters and all that good stuff from the battery management system. Luckily I have a buddy who works for Ford and told me what to do and saved me a good bit of money.
