Here's a stupid question. I just took a look at my alternator and checked for loose wires, and corrosion on the battery terminals. They all look good, clean, and tight.

I'm going to test the alternator and batteries next but should the alternator need replacing - is this as simple as swapping out the old for new?

Forgive me, I'm a rather mechanically oriented person (construction industry professional) but I'm new to tinkering with truck repair. Ok, with that background I'll ask my stupid question.

Is this something that I should do - it looks simple enough, although I'm thinking that the serpentine belt could pose a challenge. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike
