Alternator Swaps - Page 2

Thanks for the update F9K9. I have to add I think that is the cleanest looking engine I have seen on here.

I thought you had to do more mods to get it to fit. Direct bolt-on with just a pulley swap? Sign me, it's next on the list. Thanks

is that 160 amps at idle or running?

Thanks but, that is only because I like to wrench and I tend to attract grease and crap in my eyes!

That is probably no where close to output at idle. I can't help you out there, sorry.

I am only telling you that it was a pnp from a '98 alt to my '03 Rubi.
I basically got involved here because I saw that 5-90 was posting up. He saved me countless times when I was a XJ noob on NAXJA.com

I have read about the pulley changes and other requirements for various yrs but, for my situation, it was sweet. I did replace the belt, but there was not a size change. I just carry the old one as a spare.

i recently did this. i got a alt. for a 99 dakota it is a bigger case but it bolted rite up and pluged in. It made a big diffrence on the power when using the winch. i did add a 6 gauge wire from the alt. to the battery..

I wish I knew if the 160a V8 durango would fit my 98 as a direct bolt in.....but my dad has an 03 so I will get this in it for him ASAP.

I love a good thread without flame.

Why not try his on or check out the wiring when your Dad get's his?

I was thinking about that right after I posted...I'll have them side by side so comparing will be easy. I'll post any new info if there is any when we do it.

Does anybody know if this will work on a 97 4.0?

Small hijack.

If a person was to go get one of these at a parts store and they required a core replacement, would they accept any old junk alternator you had laying around in trade?

Yes, they would! Most places do not even check.
