4.0 litre alternator is a 90 amp job....
V8 GC is a 135 amp job
V8 98 5.9 GC is a 150 Amp job
All these details and the fact that they will swap to a YJ is from US sites
Any other options.......... Like a VM diesel alternator that will drop in a YJ for not much wedge paid to the dismantlers??

vm alt has vacuum pump built in

It depends on how your original alternator is positioned on your engine to how easy the swap is, I wouldnt fit a diesel alternator unless you can verify that its maximum rpm threshold wont be reached, if it is over revved then it will fail, I swapped out my xj alternator for a zj one earlier this year and although it fitted into the space, the bottom bracket which is cast had to be thrown and a new one fabricated as the physical size between the two is quite significant, it is a very tight fit but it does work and gives me extra amps for winching, got a pic somewhere ...

or indeed a few haha but if your alt is positioned elsewhere perhaps like a zj one then it will be really simple.

you misspelt deformed :017:
-
Nice pics and stuff.... Reckon I should be OK cos LHD and engine raised 1"....
-
the vm or any with a pump are no good in a petrol as they need a oil feed and will seize without it
-
thanks guys....on the hunt for a V8 pref a 5.9 illusive one now.....pulley needs to change to a YJ one cos V8 one has more grooves.....
-
make sure you fit a voltage reg as well as gc's don't have them on the alternator.

I upgraded the alternator on my XJ to the 136 Amp version all you need to do is a 1 to the last number for the 136 Amp version
I.E OEM XJ version Denso 5600 5685 which a 90 Amp alternator
Denso 5600 5686 which a 136 Amp alternator
It's a direct swap and the electrical connectors are the same
-
mean green = 200 Amps
-
Thank Warp......I'll look into those
And Thanks MOCAJ would love a Mean Green but $400 is a bit salty for me :hysterical:
