3.5L, LX, has conked out. I did purchase a new battery 2 weeks ago and things were working fine. Then a "Hum" started from the alternator every time I put a load on the system (heater, lights, etc.)

So my question is this: what are the steps for changing the alternator on this van?

How long should this take if I was to bring it to my mechanic? He tells me it's a BIG job 3 to 4 hours of labor charges + $20 in shop charges.

Thanks for your assistance

However, first we should confirm this is the issue by testing it using this guide.

This is not that complicated and can be accomplished with basic hand tools. So, if you want to tackle it, then we need to run through this info attached and let me know if you have questions.

Thanks
