Replacing alternator soon.

[DR3W]

Alternator going out. Any reccomendations on parts? Im probably going to replace it this weekend. Nothing crazy, just a reliable replacement.

Where is the belt tensioner on a 1st gen? (Dumb quetion but i haven't looked before)

i'd highly reccomend that if your alt is going out...buy another alt...lol go to autozone or some shop like that and buy replacement...too easy...the tensioner will be a handle looking thing...follow the belt and look at each point where the belt touches...you'll see the arm...and thats it

Check Rock Auto for the alt. Tensioner is to the left of the water pump, pass side on the 4.6. Based on your mileage I'd change the belt, tensioner and water pump while I was there if they haven't been changed already. Better safe than sorry.
