limez...no need to be an a-- to me. im trying to get this under control, so please dont get this thing closed on me. go away if you dont wanna help with advice (purpose of this website)

aT least ur trying

better than some of these guys here

V6 alternator swap was one of the easiest swaps i did -

The RS alternator attaches this way-


The GS alt goes in this way-


Both pics are GS alts - but you get the idea..... The GS alt has a slight bump where the bolt goes in and so you would need a longer bolt. I just took the alt to ace hardware and found a bolt that was the right pitch and right length - it has to go through the first hole and thread onto the second hole.

Also when you are tightening the belt you have to loosen up both bolts (top and bottom) - otherwise you are just straining the bracket and not tightening the belt - its kinda common sense .....

Also, its hard to put a new belt in compared to taking the old belt out (the old belt would be stretched out) - but in 2 or 3 days the new belt gets worked in and stretched up and it will squeal again - you will have to retighten it.

i used my old belt since its still in perfect shape.

so can the alt from a klde probe engine be used the same as the gs alt?

probably.

that will work too im using one from a V6 MX-6 KLDE, mx-6 probe same engine.

IMO honestly i didnt feel a difference using my v6 alternator, i still have the same power hesitation when loads are applied. not as often now, but still just as strong of a surge.
