8 UR HMI Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 alternator went out and i got a 145 and did it in the 40* weather in my carport here. i paid the extra 40 bucks to get a nice dayco belt so when i spray it, the belt doesnt pop. im planning on polishing or painting it to make it flat black or onyx black. i didnt take pics but if anyone wants a how-to that hasnt done it (i know a lot of u could do it/have done it on ur own so dont judge haha) anyways here ya go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
