Either way, alternator #4 just went in. Let's see if it can last over a year lol.
These plastics take 10mins to remove.
Korean 4.6L V8 in all its glory. It pulls great! Only 375HP, but on a rolling start it keeps up with the 5.0L 420HP Coyote, until Coyote slowly starts to pull away after 130MPH.

Fan held by two 10mm bolts up top, and click in on the bottom. Hardest part is to wiggle it out between the radiator hoses and metal cooling lines.

See ya on the next episode of 2009 Hyundai Genesis Adventures!
