Hello,

In order to replace the alternator, first the serpentine belt needs to be removed. Which can be done by applying pressure to the belt tensioner to loosen the belt and remove. Always pay attention to the belt routing, this will make it easier in the time of installation.

Here is a helpful video that shows how to change the alternator on this truck:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
