Watched your entire video. Quite good for the non-experienced folks to learn from. Appreciate that it takes a lot of work to post such a video. At that price worth trying as compared to a new unit from Cat especially in Canadian dollars. Good to see you cleaned up the connections, just wanted to mention that dielectric grease is a non-conductor, not really that good on a push on connector. I usually just give a tiny spray of Lloyd Moovit or Deep Creep to prevent corrosion and does wash off very easily with brakleen. Not the case with Dielectric grease as is super hard to clean out. Overall good job on the presentation and tips to save a pile of money.
A guy does whatever works with the money at hand. Glad Makers Acres posted what worked for him as many more will do same thing no doubt. Not every one has extra $800 to send to Cat.
I didn't purchase a cat one, it's a knockoff and works like a champ, no way was I going to pay CAT $1000 for an alternator.
