Okay guys, I have a 2000 Dodge Neon. The area I live in had a really bad flood about a month ago. I was trying to get home and i kinda drove into a road that was flooded about feet high. The rain came down so hard I could NOT see out of my window. I drove into it very slowly, BUT only half way up my hood. Well enough the battery got wet. ANYWAYS, my alternator is basically fried. The barring is hissing like a bitch. My question is, Does it really take 2-3 hours to take it off? Or is there a simple way. I looked up the difference between the 1st gen and 2nd gen neon's. It's a big difference. I just need a little advice from anyone. Thanks much, it will be a HUGE help.

I already have the front tire off as well. I know i have to take it out through the bottom.

 

Only half way up your hood!? I'd say you are damn lucky to have an engine/car that is still running. Did you do a complete fluid change? Anyways, looking at it on my car, doesn't seem like it would take 2-3 hours to change, though I have not tried it. If that's what the manual says and you follow it, I'd expect to take that long.

 

i got them same hubcaps lol


but yea i know i have a little Kinetic 600 battery in the trunk of my car. if it wasn't for that, i would have stalled out. but idk. i'm just going to try my best.. thanks anyways.

 

I mean, in all honesty, if you follow the manual, it shouldn't be too bad either way. At least you will know exactly how to take it out and put it back in.
