Dodge Caliber Alternator Concern
Ok, so many people are now aware that the caliber has either an alternator concern or alternator pulley concern. You know, where it makes that loud annoying noise, and then it also makes that grinding diesel engine sound...well anywho, i had it diagnosed afterall and was informed it definatley was the alternator. Yes, they hand-spun each "thing"(im not auto lingo savvy) and it was the alternator....ok, getting passed all that. I need a new alternator.lol....BUT its tricky to get to and they say they have to disconnect the A/C compressor, discharge the A/C system, and recharge the A/C system AFTER REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR. Now i have read other places that say you dont have to discharge the A/C to replace the alternator. Can someone give me a more detailed answer on this....PLEASE? in a tight spot with money and if i can save the $$$ and not do the whole A/C thing ON TOP of the alternator, that would be great!
