Alternator

[TheMattHatter]

I was curious how to access the alternator in the 3sgte engine, I know where it is under the block, but, will I have to remove alot of stuff to get down to it? Or is there some other way? My old alternator blew and I need to put in a new one, just curious of how difficult the procedure is or if $100 for labor's worth it (probably not). Any information on the alternator change would be greatly appreciated.

you have to remove the lower crossmember to access the alternator its not that difficult really i did mine in about 45 min

it's held in by 2 bolts and a belt... when mine needs to come out, i've always just taken it out the bottom.
