Went snow wheeling today. The volt gauge dropped to nothing after a couple minutes of driving but starts right up fine. I'm thinking either my alternator is bad or very dirty

Finished alternator replacement. Thought about if my engine runs long enough, whether or not to buy a YJ for a DD and do a 5.3 swap on the TJ or just rebuild the 2.5. Either way I want to buy a YJ in the summer to dd. Ha

That's what mine started doing Thursday. Cleaned all grounds and had battery and alt checked. Both checked out but I had the same issues. Finally, I decided the alternator is 15 years old and could use replacing either way. Problem solved.

Got me a set of half doors 4 wks ago from CraigsList. Been looking for a couple years for nice set at right price.
Installed them next day, had to adjust hinges.
