Hey all,
So I am in the middle of an alternator swap because my old one does not support some audio upgrades I have done.
Problem is, nothing I could find online talks about the alternator that my truck has in it.
Here is a photo album of the old one and the new one.
The wires that are still connected are the problem, obviously. Not to mention that the new alternator (supposed to be a drop in) has different wires running to it. So that easy part is now hard as well.
Anyone know how the hell to get the old one out? Running new wires isn't THAT big a deal I suppose but everything I can find says that the side-plug alternators (this one?) and the rear plug alternators (new one) should be.. well, plugs. Not fixed.
