Your welcome Ryan. Glad that the video will help you out with that repair. Sorry for the delay in replying back. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.

@@MotorCityMechanic ok i live in texas and my 07 mustang gt has a quote on quote "electrical demon" in it i personally BELIEVE that the issue is coming from my alternator or the voltage regulator which is inside the alternator, i have no codes being thrown and no check engine lights on but everytime i hit near my power band or i try going past half throttle all of my interior lights go off and the first thing i see is i lose traction and my voltage guage sky rockets past H and if i slow down my voltage goes back down a little and its all normal again but if i stop and open my hood i can see that battery acid is spilling out of the 2 top blocks and this is my 3rd battery from 5starford and they keep saying its my battery but they are the ones selling me the battery but they say its the batterys fault when they keep saying itll fix my issue im ordering a whole new 230amp alternator, not a refurbished one a brand new one so i can see if itll fix the voltage issue because it is dangerous and i need it gone id like a reply because you obviously know way more than me. Thank you for this video

@@MotorCityMechanic well with viewing your video I was able to replaced my alternator in about a hour, start to Finnish. Have you made a video on replacing the spark plugs in the 4.6?

@@scottdawe7412 I know for sure I haven’t as of yet. But I will keep it in mind

Hope it turned out well. Sorry in the delay in getting back to you. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe.

Hopefully you will only have to do the maintenance repairs and not some of the others. Its the most common engine we have so I see issues that you might never. Thanks for watching and glad that the videos give that confidence that you mention.

I credit it all to editing lol. In real life Im sooooo not like that. Thanks for the kind words and for the feedback about the video. Glad you enjoyed and make sure to subscribe.

I have an 07 gt and i have a voltage issue that drains power from all my interior lights and over charges my battery, whats your issue

Might cost more but peace of mind. My first job was a Pep Boys.....we replaced more of our own branded parts then anything else.

Many thanks Bill! 40ish minutes long....you better bet there’s some info in there 😂

Thanks for the feedback!

@@MotorCityMechanic install went smooth and need to give a lot of the credit to this vid. Thanks again.

Your welcome and thanks for watching Ron!

Many thanks Jim!

Much appreciated! Thanks for checking the video out.

I try to add others when I can. They dont seem to get viewed as much as the others. Mainly just depends on the vehicle that I am working on.....I will film anything lol

Thanks Jacob!

@@MotorCityMechanic Seriously though now that I have a minute. I hadn't worked my a motor in 31 years. (A different story.) I grew up with motorheads. I was always the helper and occasionally did my own work. Learned alot. I grinned I still had all the tools to do the job, though it took a minute to find them all. I lost count at the number of Alternators we've put in this car, original owner here. I watched 3 - 5 other video's. None were as complete or as straight forward as your's was. You covered other lessons that you'd learned along the way etc. You presented the information with detail and confidence. Thank you for helping!!

Thanks my friend!

Tooth brush gets into tighter smaller places and the corners. The baby bottle scrubber is larger.....I use one everyday and it doesnt get all the items and certainly not the inside of the nibbles so I personally wouldnt use on. The toothbrush seems to be the best size plus everyone has one handy. Thanks for commenting and make sure to subscribe

Not sure about that message. First step would be to check for codes and then see what we have.

I will have to keep it in mind. Thanks for watching, for the comment, and for the blessing! The same to you as well.

Thanks Paul! Appreciate the feedback. Make sure to subscribe.

Your welcome!

This one is 11 years old.....I feel it lived a good life to have lasted that long. I see them fail alot sooner then that. Thanks for watching Steve and for the comment. Dont forget to subscribe.

The throttle body can be cleaned on the engine. It causes no issues. If you take your vehicle to a shop to have it cleaned as part of a service....it will be cleaned on the engine. That’s standard practice and I do it about every other day as part of the BG fuel injection service. In the end it’s up to you and what you feel like. Either work. But keep in mind if you do....that throttle body seal had to be ordered and wasn’t in stock at the local parts stores so he prepared

Check your battery... Also check your battery cables and the wiring going to the alternator.

My wife wanted a convertible....We dont make a convertible that was "ballsy" in my opinion. We had the PT and Sebring at that time...not anything I would want to drive for fun. So.....Mustang it was lol.

@@MotorCityMechanic Anything for the wife as long as we can borrow it. :-)

Exactly! So says roughly what she wants....I feel in the rest lol. Thats why we have an RT Durango and not another minivan.....so you want 3 rows of seats, no problem.....you got it lol.

@@MotorCityMechanic Happy wife, happy life! My wife wants a Highlander for the 3erd row because once a year we need a third row. My goal is to find something off lease before the lane change beepers and next level of gadgetry, aka more headaches for guys like you, came into play.

Can you explain why a 2010 alternator instead ??

@@TheIcaslojoe 05-09 om alternators are known for going bad , the 2010 has the same engine but a better alternator.
