Definitely a great point! Guess I had to learn it the hard way! Hopefully It'll hold up for a fair few years now, but if I ever had to do it again I'll have the new alternator tested before I install it and start doubting my own sanity.

Thank you for the replies! Since I'm inexperienced / and easily intimidated by electrical stuff I ended up taking it to my mechanic. He messed around with it for a while, changed the alternator again(!!) and now it works. He said my work up to then did look ok, and couldn't explain why my new...

Hey guys, I'm not sure if I should open another thread for this, but things didn't exactly turn out as planned. Please, would highly appreciate your advice on the following: I managed to just squeeze it in there after clocking the alt as you guys suggested. I also had to cut down the long ass +...

WOWW!! Applying heat with a hair dryer totally worked!! :signs1: I didn't have to remove the pulley in the end. Thank you guys so much!! This forum is awesome. Going to install it in a couple hours. Wish me luck

I do have the OEM part... Right, I may have to try heat like msvela448 suggested. Worst case I'll have to remove the pulley. I just don't have the right tool for that... Yeah, thanks for that video. It is helpful although my alternator is a little different from the one pictured. Of course...

I removed the 4 long case bolts as pictured. Am I missing any other screws? Did you use a hammer or you could you just rotate it by hand? Thanks

Hi Forty61, Thanks for the feedback! That's great hearing from someone who has actually done it. I had never heard about 'clocking' an alternator previously but it seems straight forward enough. Will try it this afternoon! Hey Forty61, how did you manage to rotate the case? Did you have to...

Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a go :happythumbs:

Thanks a lot for the detailed response man! I appreciate the offer, but I'm based in LA. I'll have to mess around with it again tomorrow. Definitely will try un-taping the harness to see if that does it. I hope I don't damage the wires but I'll try to be careful. If you haven't noticed I am a...

Many thanks for the response! Wow, would that be possible? That hadn't occurred to me at all.

I appreciate the quick response! Yeah I had seen that thread, although now I noticed a comment by JeremyH that reads "Then the pcm control connector on the new alt is in a slightly different location its same plug you just have to tweak the harness to make it reach. Very simple." I guess...

Thanks for the response! Sorry they're not the best pictures. The problem is the connector wire doesn't reach after bolting down the o-ring. Is it a matter of cutting the wiring cover to make it reach?

Hey guys, I would REALLY like your advice on the following: I have an '06 Mustang GT and recently had to change out my alternator which had a bad diode. So after doing a lot research on the various forums I noticed a lot of people were recommending the alternator off the 2010 Mustang 4.6L. I...

My bad for the late response! Again, thanks a lot for the detailed feedback. I'm getting real close to pulling the trigger on an '05 GT Convertible Manual. It's funny how the manual convertibles seem like rare unicorns, you hardly ever see them coming up for sale!

Alright man, sounds good. :cool: So how did it go? Did they rework the rails for you?

Wow thanks, Kerrynzl for the detailed input! Looks like quite a bit of work went into how they customized your floorboards. I have found these seat track extenders that go over the original floor bracing on CJPonyParts in the meantime as well...

Right, I'm sure there's a bunch of written off former boyracer Stangs sitting in junkyards waiting to donate their seat rails to me :D Ah yes, I guess reinforcements may be needed with the extra holes in the floorboard despite my modest for my height 260 lbs :hahano:. That's a great...

Yeah I figured the airbag sensor story was BS. Thanks a lot for the feedback! Welding two rails together sounds doable. I'd have to see if I can pick up another set of rails somehow, I guess it only comes with the full seat track assembly. I also came across these seat track extenders which...

Hi there, I know this topic has been discussed previously on some of the various forums but I haven't quite been able to find the exact information I need. I am 6'11'' and in order to fit in the s197 I need to be able to position the seat as far back and as low down as possible (further than...
