heres the link to the alternator i have

Thanks

 

Should be a direct bolt in, just hook the wires up just like they are on the current alternator

 

thats how the back looks, and also how do i loosen the belt to get the stock alternator off

 

1/2" drive breaker bar to release the tension on the Belt Tensioner

 

ok where can i get that from, and the big black piece with a screw you connect that with a 1/0 run of wire to the pos battery terminal and the rest just connects or what
and where is the belt release thing at

 

there are three bolts that hold the Alternator on the motor, they are all 10mm. The Belt tentioner is to the lower left of the alternator if your looking from the front of the truck. You'll see a 1/2 square hole to insert a breaker bar into, the longer the better. Once you have the breaker bar in, you will push the bar to the right turning the tensioner clockwise, slide the belt off of the alternator. Then unbolt the three 10mm bolts holding the alternator in place, lift the alternator up a little and unbolt the ground wire from the post on top of the alt. then using a small flat screwdriver CAREFULLY lift the locking tabs and unplug the two connectors. Do the reverse to re-install you new alternator.

Hope this helps! Good luck.

 

helps alot thanks so with that black piece with the bolt on it is that my power or ground connection

 

Positive/Power

Install everything just like the factory parts are.

 

where can i get a breaker bar,and the black piece with the bolt wat connects to that pos or ground

 

It's a positive line, Once you have a look at your alternator on the truck, it will all make sense. You should disconnect your battery while your doing this too.

Go to your local sears or any autoparts place, it's a 1/2" breaker bar, also known as a "johnny" bar. I've done it with a 1/2 ratchet, but it's not fun.

 

yea i will prob try with the ratchet and see how that goes, should i use a inline fuse for the postive line from the alt to the battery, so there is no ground i have to hook up

 

If you use a ratchet, you'll want a 2-3 ft cheater bar. It's pretty springy.

 

ok how do i get the pulley off the stock alternator is a certain tool needed

 

Why are you trying to take the pulley off?

You will need a impact gun to remove a pulley

 

It didin't come with a pully ?

It should have -
