Since no one responded, I did this one on my own. 1. Disconnect both battery terminals ( safety first ) 2. Use a 3/8 ratchet to disengage the serpentine belt tensioner and put some slack in the serpentine belt to remove from the alternator. Sounds worse than it is, but may require two people if you can't use two hands at once. 3. Once the belt is off, you can now start to remove the alternator. 4. There are three bolts - two on the front and one behind near the top of the unit. Note: there is also a bolt directly behind the alternator that holds what appears to be a ground wire from the battery. 5. Once the bolts are removed, I used a screwdriver to gently pry the alternator loose - no problems. 6. Turning the alternator so I can see the back of it, remove the electrical connector. 7. Using an open faced wrench and ratchet wrench, loosen the bolt holding the ground wire. This will look like a spark plug cover on the back, but it's just a bolt. REMOVAL DONE Now reverse the steps with the new unit and reassemble in that order. Starting the vehicle it ran a little sluggis as it took time for everything to reset, but after about a 20-30 minute drive, all was well and guage is happily back to 14 now. I ordered the part online for about 90 dollars with a core charge return of $16.00 Total time took me about an hour - ( I took my time ) If I had to do it again, it would take about 1/2 hour.

Where is the engine timing mark on an '86 Chevy Astro 43L?
I have a '90 so I think it would be the same, on mine it is at the front of the engine on the bottom pulley. (crankshaft pulley or vibration dampener) To view the scale and mark I have to look down, a little on the drivers side of center. Beside the break resivour is a good viewpoint, looking just over the timing light. I have to run the timing pickup coil in through the drivers door or window and into the open doghouse cover. Good luck. God Bless!
What is the timing for 1992 Chevy 1500 truck with 43L V6 with manual transmission?
0 degrees,should say right on the fan shroud on the same sticker that tells the spark plug gap. In order to time it correctly you must unhook the esc electronic spark control wire which is a tan wire with a black stripe located under the black cover on the passenger side firewall. It may set off a service engine soon light. When your done timing it unhook the battery cable and the light should go out.
How do you set the timing on a 1986 Chevy Caprice 262 43L V6?
Go to your library and see if they have a Chiltons manual otherwise go to a bookstore and buy one, they are cheap. I have never worked on one of the V-6 engines but setting the timing usually involves rotating the distributor and using a timing light. I am not sure if this is the case on computer controlled engines since I have never had to set the timing on any newer car I have worked on. If it is bad and you have a lot of miles, you may have a timing belt going bad. They get loose when they get old and often jump a notch. VBD
Are the spark plugs different on 95 chev caprice 43L V8 and 57L V8?
as far as i know the 4.3 is a v6 which is actually based off of the 5.7. gm just cut 2 cylindars off if there is a difference it will be the heat range on the plugs for your info, the Chevy 4.3 ltr in a 94-96 caprice is a 265 v-8, do some research before giving info on engines you know nothing about. oh and by the way, the power rating in a stock 4.3 v8 is higher than a stock 5.0 and also the correct answer is NO, the spark plugs are no different than the 305 or the 350.
Can you swap a 3800 supercharged 38l from a gtp into your 95 Chevrolet cheyenne that's two wheel drive and already has a 43l v6?

What else could be wrong if new fuel pump isn't humming and truck won't start in a 1996 Chevy Blazer 43L?
first check to see if your getting voltage to your fuel pump. go to the connector at the rear of the truck. check voltage. should have 12 volts. if you do have 12 volts your pump has gone bad. this happens some times. if you don`t have voltage find your fuel pump relay. (right side kick panel) see if it comes on. on some models the relay is built into the computer box. if it is in the computer box the computer box needs to be replaced. also check to see if your fuel pump fuze is blown.
