Great video. This one and one other helped me get this done lickety-split. Took less than 45 minutes to do the whole thing from gathering tools to cleanup.

Thank you!

Awesome. I’ve replaced several alternators on different year makes and models, haven’t touched an f150 yet. Just wanted to see what I was working with. Very straightforward

Excellent video making skills sir! Show every step in very good detail.
So much better than the last video I watched by a guy who didn't show any of the work just showed the old alternator still mounted and then showed the new alternator installed. It was absolutely useless.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR A JOB WELL DONE. 👍🏻👴👍🏻
