I changed my alternator on my 2014 silverado lastnight thanks to this video! This saved me over 500 bucks! Thank you a 1000 times over 🎉🎉

I did this replacement on my 2015 Silverado this morning in the parking lot of the parts store. I also replaced the serpentine belt while I was at it for good measure. Tip: if you have trouble getting the new belt on to the alternator, remove it off of the tensioner roller, place the belt on to the alternator first, then the belt will slide right on to the tensioner roller. With the tension relaxed, of course.

Thank you..took less time to change than it did to watch video, because of your clear instructions.

This video was awesome. I replaced the alternator on my 2015 Suburban and the simple way of showing how to do it in this video made it so simple and saved me hundreds of dollars. Thank you!

While some models are different in the position of the air vent, and exact location of the alternator, the principles you describe to pay attention as to how to do it, what comes first and what next, etc., are very informative. I was able to change the alternator on 2014 GMC Yukon. Saved money. Thank you.

Did repair on 2014 Silverado 1500 2wd LT, only difference was the two tubes with the grey lock on the air compartment box, there was only one of them on the left side. Thanks!! 👍

Great video, thanks! Wrench sizes were spot-on, everything was where you said it'd be... really smooth & easy process! One thing I'd like to add, as I just did this, is those bushings have a cut/groove in them & if you have a small pair of vice-grips to clamp on the outside of them, they're MUCH EASIER to tap / back out & give you the clearance you need to put the new alternator in. I messed around for ~ 10 min trying to tap those out a bit, with no luck, before I finally saw that groove & immediately thought "vice-grips!"... TWO THUMBS UP! =)

Big thanks for this really easy to follow vid. Just swapped out my alternator by myself, works great, and your explanation of every step was clear and easy to follow. I do appreciate you saving me the however many $$$ in labor cost.

Excellent video, especially giving the wrench sizes and torque numbers! Also, the detailed comments on how to release the alternator charging connector and the crankcase vent hoses were helpful - no plastic was broken. The reman'd alternator was too tight to drop in. The bronze bushings in the front are split, and can be moved forward. There wasn't enough room to use a (plastic) hammer to move them forward. I clamped vise grips *tightly* on outside of the right bushing, then slightly pulled as I turned the bushing back and forth. The left bushing was more stubborn and the vise grips kept slipping off. But a pry bar with a bit of jigging easily pushed the bushing out a bit. The pry bar jigging: Cut a small piece of wood a bit less than distance between the back of the bushing and the face where the back of the alternator mates. I used a short piece of angle iron to bridge between the back mounting screw holes, which serves as the anchor for the pry bar. Moving the bushing: Place the cut piece of wood against the back of the left bushing, then place the pry bar tip against the back of the wood. The pry bar handle will be to your right and fulcrum of the pry bar will be against the angle iron. Push the pry bar handle toward the engine and the bushing will easily (at least for me) move forward. With the bushings moved forward, the alternator dropped in with no restriction.Tightening the mounting bolts will draw the bushings back in to their desired positions.

Thanks for the video bro! Simple, detailed and well done. Made swapping the alternator super quick and easy. Saved $940 from what they wanted to charge me to have it done. Appreciate it.

.......and thats why mechanics are worth their weight in gold!!!

Love this channel they make it super easy for everyone!! And also love their parts !!!

Worked just like you said! Took about an hour. Thank you!!

Thanks for a very clear and detailed video, Well done.

Great video very clear and easy to follow 👍.

God bless you for making this video

Thanks for the video, short and to the point.

That’s a clean engine!

I did it but instead of removing the whole serpentine belt I just removed from the alternator only

I replaced my alternator with a high output alternator & now it keeps stalling. Keeps sending random codes & it says the charging system isnt working properly. What could be the issue?

This looks easy. The 2015 Colorado my son has is completely different and very difficult to access. I wish it were this easy!

heads up anytime you disconnect the battery... could trip emission codes that may require driving hundreds to reset. my suggestion make sure emissions are completed prior to battery disconnect (or aren't due for a couple months or more).

Thank for this video I got it all done👍

Very helpful video thanks for the help

Thank you brother helped me a lot.

Thanks for the video

When your conducting the torque, theirs no need to torque it twice,your just doin an extra torque. Once your hear the click it’s torqued.

Nice job sir 😊

Do you have a video on a 2018 for an eassist?

Very good video thanks !!!!

you put the old alternator back on? just for demonstration? why not install a new/rebuilt alternator?

Thank

Would this work for a 2018? Just asking cause it’s the only year not listed in the description…

What size are bolt holes for alt side casing? I wanna run a ground there

excellent thx!

How do you get those little shims to move? I can’t get the new alternator in

How about changing it on a 2019 4.3 ?

Like gravy.

What size motor is that and does it matter?

Old alternator wouldn't charge the battery, now with the new one in, I get an error on my scanner saying it is overcharging 🙄🙄🙄🙄. 2015 Chevy Silv 1500 LT

I have 2014 Chevy Silverado you no how much is the price for alternator

Is this the same as a 2015 suburban?

What do you call the pipes on both sides @1:08

same steps for a 15 4.3 Sierra v6?

This video does NOT apply to all 14-19 Silverados. I have a 2018 with eAssist and the alternator is NOT in this location.

I did exactly what you did now my car won’t start. Just click. The battery is charged and nothing will show on my dash. What could this mean?

You guys don't have alternator for 15 GMC sierra 1500 5.3

Absolutely not. DO NOT hit those bushings with a hammer. Use a socket, bolt, washer and another bolt to push bushings out. Again, DO NOT HIT THEM WITH A HAMMER. Come on guys.
