OMG BRO MY 2000 Montero Sport just broke down the other day due to a dead battery so I bought a brand new one and it also killed that battery too within 1 day. I was at a conclusion that I was going to just Junk the car! But now that I’ve seen your video, I’ve changed my mind. I’m going to go buy the alternator and put it in myself now! I really do appreciate you and this video! You are a lifesaver brotha 🙏🏼 Thank you and God bless 💯🙏🏼💪🏽🙏🏼

Thank you so much for this video Marty, I had to change my alternator twice already cause of an oil leak. Excellent tips.

Marty, you saved me so much time today! Your video had bolt sizes, locations, and taking it through the fender well...pure genius! thank you so much very very helpful.

Thanks man real easy and straight to the point amazing what you can do with 7mins your awesome out here in Vegas nv

Excellent training video, thanks for sharing your automotive talents. I was able to change my alternator out based on what you taught. I did get caught up on one thing, the pulley. I loosened both bolts, but on tightening the bolts, I learned it is imperative to tighten the one underneath last and to fully tighten the one facing the radiator first. It was squeaking until i loosened both and tightened in that order. Thanks again for spending the time to make this video for us Montero Sport owners! A proud owner since 2000. :)

Thanks for posting this! I have the dreaded cam seal leak that killed my alternator. Swapped it out thanks to you!

This video was amazingly helpful, thank you for taking the time to create this!

Helping me fix my alternator right now. Thanks Marty

Thanks Marty. My '02 Montero XLS uses the same alternator with similar setup. Your help made this a 20 minute job!

Thank you sir. Excellent information. I appreciate your effort. Going to tackle the job tomorrow

Thanks I have to change my alternator on my 99 and your video is quick and to the point. As soon as the sun comes up I'm gonna start on mine. Thanks for giving me the confidence

Many thanks Marty. I've looked at a couple videos before i found yours; but yours has been the most helpful. Thank you and god bless

Helped me do it for the first time on my '03 limited. Thanks dude!

Another big thank you! I was worried about doing this myself, but after watching this I'll have no worries in doing this alternator swap. I'm doing this on a full sized 1997 Montero SR, but this has the same 3.5L SOHC engine, and everything looks the same. Cheers!

Just made the replacement today with the help of your video, appreciate you taking the time to simplify this task. Cheers bud

You just made my life easier today. Thanks bro, greetings from Puerto Rico!

Thanks, Marty! Very helpful. You can work on my truck anytime! I liked that you put the bolts back as you went so as not to lose them!

Thanks Marty I finished. Good luck with the channel!

You saved me a few hours as well as a few hundred bucks! Thanks very much!

It was the best one ive seen on this so far i'll use your method! thanks!

Thanks dude

The front pass cam seal is a notorious leaker and will kill the alternator over time

Thanks bro.... Good laugh

where's the alternator ground at? or did i miss that part?

Will grease getting on alternator connections stop it from working.

Thank you for the video bro, now I do not have ti pay to do this!!!

do you have any video clip on changing spark plugs?

The bolt you loosen at 2:31 ,that bolt is for the tensioner ?

Thank you Marty, I have to do this tomorrow! Mine was charging at 19.95 volts and the acid in the battery was boiling. The fumes got inside but I will take care of the bad smell later on. Do you have more Montero Sport videos? Thanks!

Thanks Big Dogg

I know on my 2002 Montero at the valve cover it leaks right onto rear of the alternator. I wonder if that's the major culprit for destroying alternator, that oil drip??? ... thank you for the video

Looks like the culprit on these Mitsubishi Montero Sports is the oil leak itself that ruins the alternator fine built motor right

So did your alternator fail because of Oil leak? My Montero is losing oil from somewhere, about half a quart per month... I don't smell anything burning though. Any idea what could be the problem? Probably something very common in the Montero Sports.

Thanks. My renter needs his replaced so I'm doing it.

your welcome Luis Albeto Marin

Thank you Marty!!!

your welcome Jamie coto

you wearing tyvek?

Thanks. This helps a lot just in case it's my alternator that's the problem. I figured it was going to be a lot harder. Compared to my old Malibu where the alternator was on the top.

He did everything faster than me but I did it all without removing any parts from the top and without using a jack. Everything can be done from underneath. This is the easiest alternator to replace I've ever seen (I'm a amateur mechanic.... and not particularly good at all). I ran into this video to try and find a novel way to get oil out of the alternator so that it does not need to be replaced. It looked like his alternator had the same problem. I don't want to buy and install a second one. Its ridiculous how much shit gets in these.

thank you brother!

Mr. Marty Did you have to remove a skid plate, if so, does the skid plate have to be completely removed? If anybody has oil leaking into the alternator, you need to deal with it immediately. My wife came home from work at 10:30 PM, ran in the house and yelled "MY CAR IS ON FIRE! I think, there is smoke coming out" and back out the door she went as I yelled "OPEN THE DAMN HOOD!" I threw my boots on, went outside to see smoke billowing out from underneath the now, partially opened hood. I ran out, didn't see my wife, propped the hood open, seen a small flame coming out of the alternator. I grabbed a rag off of the porch on my way out the door, as I was on the ground, crawling under the Montero I see my wife coming towards the car with the water hose running. I yelled at her NO, no damn water and shimmied my way under the vehicle and snuffed out the fire with the rag. I climbed out from underneath, got my good flashlight and seen oil all over some lines and the alternator. I pointed this out to my wife and she said "I noticed that about 10 days ago, as she checks her own oil, I just stared at her and asked why did it take 10 days and a fire before I knew that there was an oil leak and I heard.....crickets, and only crickets as we live out in the boonies Her valve cover was dripping oil and it was blowing all over the engine bay. Here is the problem with waiting to correct the oil leak, well besides having a fire, but the fire melted the plug that snaps into the alternator. I can't find a new plug/pigtail as I have no clue as to what the part number is on this pigtail but, I bent the pins/prongs out a little on the alternator and the plug seems to hold. I don't like this tension, or "Bent Prong" set up because it may fall off on a bumpy road, or from vibration and then I will have to go to where the wife is, hook up the logging chain and tow her vehicle home, however many miles from the house the plug fell out. This went from a simple valve cover replacement to a valve cover gasket replacement, new alternator, and a trip to the "Do it yourself" junkyard to climb through who knows what to salvage a clip and pigtail

I replace my alternator no problem cause I did it 3 times in 4 days... soon I hook the battery up it sparks n smokes then blow the link fuse.. whats goin on its all hook up fine don't understand
