The passenger side alternator on my M1009 was loose & when I went to tighten the upper bolt (which I could turn by hand), the bolt would go all the way in & then just spin and spin (with a ratchet).
The threaded hole on the alternator is stripped out I guess. What is the best way to fix this?
Do I take the alternator off & retap the hole with a bigger sized bolt?
Do I use a longer bolt & screw it all the way through & put a nut on the other side?
By the way....I took the alternator belt completely off until I fix this. So is running the truck on one alternator going to screw something up?
Thanks!
