Only if it is in the way. Usually the induction tube has to be removed- this is a no-brainer. You can work around the shroud.
Assuming this Sonoma has the 2.2 L engine.
If your Sonoma has the 4.3 engine, the alternator is in the clear.
I had to remove the air induction tube, and lower plenum, as well as the upper half of the engine fan shroud. Removing the battery helps a lot if you have big arms. Be sure to follow directions to keep from faulting out your control chip.
You have to disassemble the entire engine, remove the piston and check the rubber ring around that piston.
it could do
All timing gears. You have to disassemble the entire front of the truck and engine to access.
Just paid ~500 for labor + ~460 for new alternator... when i started my RRover(bigBody not sport)....it was making this mid-pitched woo sound(that followed the revving of the engine)...they said it was the alternator "bearing"...but the entire alternator needed replacing...love my truck, but she's high maintenance...LOL
Mitsubishi is very common to use 17mm mostly whole car is assembled using 10mm 12mm 14mm 17mm 19mm with these you can nearly disassemble the entire engine.
We cannot show pictures, however replacing the alternator on most models and years of Taurus is very easy. It is at top right of engine and even the belt tensioner is easy to access. If you are careful and don't totally remove the belt from the lower pulleys, the entire replacement of alternator can easily be done in less than an hour.We cannot show pictures, however replacing the alternator on most models and years of Taurus is very easy.

Have your Alternator tested. Sounds like the entire engine is running off just the battery.
If you were to disassemble the entire transmission, the last part to come out would be the tail shaft.
Front of the engine block on left side, below the alternator. If you replace thermostat, it is easier to replace entire housing. When you purchase one it will all come as one unit.
The FADEC already has power prior to engine start. In fact it controls the entire start sequence. It receives power under normal starting conditions via an ECBU ; the acft will have power from either an external source, the APU, or an operating engine. The alternator stator provides power to the FADEC once the engine reaches 10% NG. This way the engine is entirely self sustaining once started and during the majority of start sequence. Should the alternator stators fail, power is then given from the ECBU again (28v DC power source).
how to change alternator on mk4 v5 golf
Ford Focus AlternatorMine was out of warranty and I had to have the alternator replaced. The estimate to fix was about $400 but was actually over $500 since the dealer basically had to take the entire engine apart to get to it. This might help....http://www.focushacks.com/?modid=45&ht=Removing%20/%20Replacing%20Alternator%20(Zetec)Did mine yesterday, alternator cost $96.00. The engine does not need to come apart, just some items on firewall above the alt. and coolant resv.
