Thread: Can you replace the altenator without taking the blower off

Gonna swap my 97 for a 99+ wanted to know can I just take it out without taking the blower or anything else off?

You can...you'll need a 99+ alternator, bracket, and some coolant elbows and coolant.

Can I reuse my aluminum one?coolant will need to be replaced why?

Coolant runs through the alternator bracket. 99+ alternator brackets use two coolant elbows while the 97-98 bracket uses only one. The two alternator brackets are completely different from each other due to the way the alternator mounts.

you prolly have the second elbow leftover, just get new o-rings for the one ur currently using and put them both in

Ok i'll do that also my altenator wire has a short could I cut the burnt portion and splice my new wire ?

Bill the short is close by other harnesses. . I couldn't just splice the wire? I dont have a solder gun on me
