On the Vulcan engines the alternator was same from '98 to '03.
You can have it tested at a auto pars store like autoZone. Another symptom is that if it has power issues, its the alternator I have the 03 LS and it needs a new alternator.
You can loosen the tension on your alternator belt by loosening the tensioner bolt. When the tensioner bolt is loose you can slide the alternator to the left.
Yes. '00-'03 all the same.
The PCV valve is mounted beside of the alternator on an 03 Duramax. The valve has two hoses, one for each valve cover.
it maybe the alternator... warranty will cover you
first remove positive battery cable from battery. Then remove front passenger tire, then remove strut and hub, then remove cv axle undo two mounting bolts from bottom, once this is done access to three mounting bracket bolts. to remove mounting bracket then slide alternator btwn frame and engine and replace, have fun this takes avg 4-5 hours! i found out that if you take out the oil filter u can get to the bolts with easy access. it beats taking of the drive shaft. once the bracket is off you can take it out from the top. it would be easier if you unbolt the tension assembly. it took me about 2 hours to do all this and put back together. $20 extra bucks for the oil beats the extra hours i would have to put into working on the car. have fun :) OOOOOOOORRRRRRRRR,,,,,,,, It is possible to remove it from the top of the engine. I know this becasue i just accomplished this in under 3 hours. Start to finish with a coffee break in between. If you want to know exactly how i did it feel free to email me atomic_aura@hotmail.com 03 ford escape v6
Just use the "force" to remove It.
To remove the gear shift knob on the '03 Silverado, first pry off the cover that has the shift pattern on it. Then, remove the screw that is under that cover to remove the knob.
Driver side of the engine block.
The hybrids don't have an alternator.
.03 some may change due to shipping but most are pretty accurate if the plugs are expensive...
