Looks like I might need a replacement alternator for my 4l 98 tj.
Will one fit off another jeep? I would like a cheep replacement so I can rebuild mine then have a spare.

Sadly you have very few options and all are going to need you digging deep - £300gbp rings a bell!!!

wrong, check ebay, you should be able to get a s/h one for round 20-50 squid

97-98 GC is a direct fit. Part number to look for is 56005686. It's output is up to 136A and has a seven groove pully but you can run the TJ belt on it by using the six that line up.

Here's one £53 posted on ebay...

Buy it then why don't you!!

paulesc · « **Reply #7 on:** April 21, 2012, 07:14:37 PM »

I've just looked on eBay. New ones seem to be about 120 pound and looks like there all interchangeable. Is this wrong ?

isle of man · « **Reply #8 on:** April 21, 2012, 07:17:44 PM »

Well now that you ask the wiring could be different - so long as you have the original some parts can be interchangeable, It's possible to make good.

Why? because I don't need it. My 81 Amp alternator keeps my battery charged just fine. It's handy to know what to look for though should mine ever go tit's up.

Paul, what exactly is wrong with your alternator, bearings, not charging?

isle of man · « **Reply #13 on:** April 21, 2012, 07:27:27 PM »

Normally they, hang-on I'm saying NOWT!!!

paulesc · « **Reply #14 on:** April 21, 2012, 07:30:18 PM »

I went through the odd puddle or two over Salisbury plain last week. It's now only charging at 12v when it was14v . I'm gonna strip and clean it tomorrow, but would like a spare for the future or if mines shot.
Also lots of squeeks :0(

A good clean would be a good place to start, but my money's on the voltage regulator

Keep your helmet on IomanKY what you need is a quick chat column to vent your frustration on not this poor chap who just needs a simple alternator

Mike Pavelin · « **Reply #22 on:** April 21, 2012, 08:06:50 PM »

There's no voltage regulator in the alternator. The PCM modulates the supply to the field coils to regulate output.

paulesc · « **Reply #23 on:** April 21, 2012, 08:18:57 PM »

im just a poor chap that needs a simple alternator
