Default Changing Out an Alternator on a 2005 GT?

Has anyone did this yet? If so how hard is the Job? Thinking about switching it out and was curious how hard it was?

Thanks

It shouldn't be that hard since it is just underneath the plenum. Remove the plenum and you have easy access to the alternator.

I agree with the poster above. I have the service tech manual on CD...I can look it up tomorrow...out of town today.

Whats the reason for the alternator? Did it fail on you? Or are you doing it for a sound system upgrade? If so...what are you going with?


BTW your car is very tastefully done. Very nice detail.

Thx Drod! Just appearance, I went with the Chrome Alternator, do a lot of shows, thought it would spice it up nice.
