Can anyone point me to step by step instructions to replacing the alternator on a 2003 grand caravan ES, 3.8L V6? I'm resorting to doing more myself because shops are just charging me way too much. I'm fairly handy, is this a tough one?
Thanks!

It is not hard at all. The most difficult part is getting to the tensioner to get the belt off. If I remember correctly you have to get to it from underneath. Also, get a tensioner tool from the auto parts store. It is probably the only way to get to it. Advance Auto gives free loaners.
