Alternator Q??

[Dogman]

My alternator pully sounds like its going to die....should I upgrade to a ZJ V8 Alt. or stick with stock? Direct swap? No change in brackets/belt?

I'll be junkyard shopping - already have a stock Alt here in the garage as a spare.

I'm not running any extra lights - might add a couple up front and aux backup lights in the future though.

what year XJ? thatll determine if you can upgrade to the ZJ/durango/grand caravan one or not.

i had my 93 alt (90A) wound up to 120A when i got it rebuilt for no extra charge.

meh

when it comes to electrical stuff i like to keep things simple. less stuff to go wrong

if ya don't need the extra power, why get it?

my stock replacement alt for my 99 was 109 amps or something like that, that should totlally be enough for lights and stuff

97 will take a grand chero one. i think durangos, and grand caravan ones are 140.

Didn't know if it would be worthwhile since I'd only add a couple lights....same cost at the junkyard whether I get a stock replacement or one from a ZJ....I'll probably just go with a stock replacement and keep it simple.
