2003 Alternator Replacement

I have to change out my alternator on my 2003 Expedition due to the battery light coming on. I checked the output with a voltmeter and nothing is coming out, hence having to change the alternator. Any gotchas that I should know about before I begin? It looks fairly simple with the alternator up front and on top so hopefully looks aren't deceiving.

Thanks.

R&R of the alternator is about a 40 minute job. Disconnect the battery, loosen the belt, disconnect/unplug the electricals from the alternator and remove the alternator mounting hardware. Replacement is reverse.

May as well get it checked to see if its good. Its probably not but just an opinion.
