Check of my alternator at the auto part shop read "no voltage". Before I put a new one in is there anything else that may need to be checked? Also, do you have any video on how to do this? I found one of yours on a diesel of the same year, but not sure how similar that would be. Thanks for your time.

Yes!

Have the new one tested before you leave the store. This might verify their equipment is fine, or if it is the same parts person, the test may have been performed incorrectly.

This also keeps you from going thru the motions with another bad unit. Things can be bad right out of the box.
