I bought an 03 Grand Marquis LS Ultimate a couple months for for $4,700 with 67,000 miles. Low mileage but as with any older car I knew I’d have some stuff. So far I needed new hood lift supports, serpentine belt, and now my alternator just went out. All of your videos have been very helpful as I like to do things myself. Great content!

I changed mine for the first time ever & here’s a tip if you don’t have the tool to move the tensioner, just completely take out one of the bolts at the bottom preferably the left one and let the alternator tilt a Little. The belt comes right off without having to bother the tensioner 💪

Thank you so much. The looks extremely easy. I have a 2006 Crown Victoria P71 and my battery light comes on then turns off then comes on again. Yesterday, My car was on and my dash died. So I turned off my car and then itt wouldn't start. I had to jump it. This morning the battery light was back on and I looked it up and I need a new alternator. Thanks again. This looks easy

YES! Why was the belt fully removed? Was that to simply add additional information and inspection or replacement of the belt? That belt is super important so it is a good time to replace it (if needed)...

Looks easy just looks like it would be confusing putting the belt back on. I think my alternator might be going bad on my 2003 grand marquis feels like I have a misfire and my headlights are dim I'm gonna get the alternator tested of its bad I'll replace it. Is this the same procedure for 2003 grand marquis. The only thing I'm worried about is getting the belt back on properly

Sorry to say that, when changing the alternator you don't have to take off the the entire belt, I have an 08 grand marquis and it had an alternator's problem but I didn't take off the entire belt, but just for the alternator because I was changing the alternator, but good job

Unless your needing to replace the belt there is no reason to remove the belt from the car just the tensioner because as you say you only need to loosen the bottom bolts for the alternator to be removed as all you need is a small extension to reach past the belt . other than that good video .

........ Wish you would have gave torque amount in foot-pounds on each bolt. I hear top bolts have much less torque than bottom bolts.

@chrismofer 5 жыл бұрын

that's correct. I don't know the exact numbers, but the bottom bolts should be very tight and the top ones moderately tight. the top bolts are only going a few threads into pretty soft metal, don't overtorque them.
