How to replace or change the 1997 Dodge Caravan 3.3 liter engine
the alternator is on the bottom right side of the motor and it is hard to get to without removing the engine but it can be done without removing the whole motor you take the belt off and detach the cables then there are 2 bolts that you take out then you pry it out and replace,
Type of Engine Lubricating Oil versus Alternator OperationNo, the wrong type of oil within the engine should have no effect on the alternator operation.However, IF in the process of putting oil in the engine someone were to spill some of the oil onto the alternator, AND IF some of that oil got into the alternator it could cause damage to the alternator.
The Alternator is between the engine and the firewall. Follow the serpentine behind the engine and you'll see the alternator. Removing the alternator is easiest if you remove the passenger side front tire and the plastic mud guard. Once they are both off, the alternator is easy to change.
probably it can be changed but if you change the whole alternator you will gain a new alternator for your engine in opposite of changing only the bearing which is not guaranteed.
First you should pull the belt off of the pulleys and out of the engine bay. Next, remove the power steering mount without disconnecting it. Next, detach the alternator wires and remove the alternator bracket.
on the 4.2 engine its behind the alternator, right by the thermostat housing, you have to remove the alternator to get better access.
