alternator is shot, help!!! info please

[bryanjeep]

What alternators will fit my 94 YJ with 2.5 piece of crap? I am not about to put a $125 alternator in my jeep when the engine is coming out as soon as I make about $2500. I blew out the alternator going through 2 deep mud drags. IT WAS WORTH THE FUN THOUGH!!!!
I made a promise to myself that NO MORE MONEY goes into this 2.5.

Is it really a bolt up type with no problems? What about the ampage. Is that the right amount of amps?

That question can only be answered by you. What do you need it to power? See the other post about Alternators before you say it needs to power everything...

It's a real simple bolt-on, and about the most amps you can get for the money, which is a good thing. They'd charge you about the same amount for a stock alternator, so why not upgrade?

I think after christmas, i'll be going dual battery with that setup.... did anyone notice the first reply to that original post linked by bounty.... i'm so glad i'm a part of this board.

Snitty,

I agree completely. It's amazing how trashy that Forum appears to be. Why would anyone spend their time trying to help or learn from them?

[Bounty__Hunter]

Ya, It's about as bad as they get, I can't stand anybody talkin trash. I only use it for the tech info, and won't ask anything over there. I don't ever need help that bad.

 

[bryanjeep]

I bought the damn thing and now it still won't start. I think the batery is a goner also!!!!!!!!! I AM SO PISSED ON THIS CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!!

 

[XJNick]

I think the batery is a goner also!!!!!!!!!

Well, unfourtionately most standard car batteries aren't made well, and discharging them down to near empty can and will damage them. The main problem is the battery will no longer hold a charge.

It is ALWAYS a good idea to change battery and alternator at the same time to avoid any probelms.

Merry Christmas :mrgreen:

when your battery's warranty is almost up... you can always take it back and get a new one with a new warranty... if they build them crappy, and warranty a turd, then they can help you keep it running
