• Q: How to service the Delphi CS 130D (K43) 102 ampere alternator on 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: Service of the delphi cs 130d (K43) 102 ampere generator begins with negative Battery Cable removal followed by removal of the engine compartment cross vehicle brace. Begin by removing the Drive Belt from the generator so you can easily access the coolant recovery reservoir. Start the process by removing bolts (1, 2, 3) from the generator while also disconnecting the electrical connector and placing the generator output bat terminal protective boot to the side. Start by unscrewing the generator output bat terminal nut and removing the positive battery lead from the generator before removing the generator itself. Secure the negative battery lead first then the generator output bat terminal nut onto the generator before tightening it to 20 n.m (15 lb ft). Reinstalling the protective boot over the generator output bat terminal follows by connecting the electrical connector then passing the generator bolts through its holes before thumb-tightening them. Before moving on with the installation start the generator pivot bolt by hand yet do not tighten it at this point. Follow the mandatory torque sequence: tighten the generator pivot bolt to 50 n.m (37 lb ft) while generator bolt must be tightened to 50 n.m (37 lb ft) followed by generator bolt being tightened to 50 n.m (37 lb ft). Loosen and re-install all components including the coolant recovery reservoir then the Drive Belt followed by the engine compartment cross brace before reconnecting the negative Battery Cable.
