Stopping mice from getting in my 2010 Armada
Переглядів 2211 місяців тому
if you have kids and an SUV, they are going to leave food. I used some stainless steel wire mesh to create a grate to prevent mice from chewing through the air filter and gaining access to the cabin where they can chew wires and make a mess.

    Hello, is this for the FlexFuel model or the regular gasoline only model? & what size fuel pump on the gasoline or the flexfuel option if you have it it would GREATLY help me. (i.e. 255LPH, 355, 505, etc.).

      Regular fuel. 190gph I believe. This is to replace with the same pump that shipped from the factory and will last for 10 years of wives running the car down to Empty.

    Question - did anyone have a plastic air duct that was blocking the area where the alternator is? And if so, how did you remove it? I have a 2005 4.8is and there is a plastic scoop/air duct on the lower front bumper. That scoop extends far enough to block the first 1/3 of the alternator bracket and blocks all access. I have tried to remove it but there is no obvious way to do it. Help!!

    Great video. I got same issue but it's been a week and still not able to remove the last bracket nut out. Not enough space to completely pull it out since the diff is in the way. How did you move the diff to get some clearance? Fyi, I unbolted the 4 diff nuts as well but still not able to move it out the way. Tips pls?

    • @lucankotula5904
      @lucankotula5904 Рік тому

      You probably got it by now but mine didn't come apart easily either. The oil pan has an intermediate spline gear inside that seals hard against the oil pan. It took a stupid amount of prying and wiggling at the diff to get it to move the 1 Inch you need to clear the bolt head

    • @gottiesteele8006
      @gottiesteele8006 8 місяців тому

      This is a great video. If you follow everything that he does, the job should be easy. As far as getting that last bolt out that's behind diff Get you a jack. Place it up under a differential. Do not put a lot of pressure on it. Get a come along and pull it away from Oil pan housing and that will give you enough to room to get the bolt out and it will not drop down. It will rest on the undercarriage

    Do those pins on the bracket adjust how just alternator would be sitting in there?? My alignment is off on bottom alternator pulley. P.S its a new pulley and ive tried adjusting alternator and PS pump a couple times now with no fix

    • @johngrefe2232
      @johngrefe2232 Рік тому

      I've gotten reman alternators from Oriellys that had the wrong pulley on them. the pins shouldn't adjust the alignment since all of the bolts along the side of the block create a really static placement. the bolts on the face of the engine and pins are preventing flexing of the bracket fron the belt being driven. if the alternator is correct, the most likely i remember is the lower alternator bolt not being aligned straight through the rear hole and instead skewed to the side where it can threat of the casting of the bolt hole and appear to be tightening.
