Alternator Question
« on: January 30, 2008, 08:27:58 PM »

A TJ's alternator is externaly regulated.

That said how does the mean green alternator with internal regulater that is a so called straight swap work with the regulater in the engine management computer?

http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx? ... artID=9602

Do you have to disable the on board computer one or do they work in harmony?

Or would this be a better choice?

http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx? ... artID=6602

I ask because I have some credit to use up with 4wd.com and need an alternator. I ordered a 140 amp powermaster one but have had communication to say that although the web site said it would fit a 97TJ it does not. That leaves the 2 above models to choose from apart from a crown oem model they have that is 60/90amps. Its a shame because my credit did cover the cost of the original but now the cost has more than doubled!  8)
