6.1 MODIFY AND RELOCATE THE
ALTERNATOR/ INSTALL BELT TEN-
SIONERS
A. Extend the alternator wiring harness using
the supplied wires. Cut the eyelet off of the
large power wire (this may be either red or
black) and connect to the supplied large red
wire.
*****NOTE:*****
The butt connectors supplied in the kit are the
heat-shrink type. After crimping, use a heat gun
or lighter to shrink the ends for a water tight fit.
The connector is water tight when glue bubbles
out of the ends.
Next, cut the wires leading to the two wire
plug about 6 inches from the plug and attach
the supplied extension wires. Cover the
wires with the supplied split loom and route
along the bottom of the radiator, and the
lower frame rail on the passenger side to the
alternator. DO NOT attach the plug yet. You
will first mount the alternator then cut the
wires to length.
B. Remove the factory alternator pulley cap
and using an impact gun with a 17mm allen
head socket remove the stock pulley. (See
Fig. 6-1.) Install the supplied pulley in its
place securing with supplied 17mm nut.
Heating the pulley will make the installation
easier.
*****NOTE:*****
Do not use the washer supplied with the alterna-
tor pulley nut.
