Swapping working alternators in the Jeep Cherokee. This upgrade shows how to go from the stock 90-amp to a 120-amp alternator. This upgrade should definitely be done at home in your shop before you hit the trail because it won't fit without some modifications. I run a winch and a lot of electronics, so this upgrade was a great addition.
Nice. Clean. I’m doing the same upgrades. Alternator and the power steering following your directions. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
its oddly reassuring seeing an XJ with upgraded battery cables and alternator that still has that slight bounce in RPM at idle. mines been doing the same and was worried it was a bigger issue. at least I can assume that those two upgrades won't necessarily "fix" that. Seems to be normal behavior for these
Great job!
No ticking, fired right up!
Now that you've had it in, how many lights do you run with the air on at night?
Thanks.
I've had zero issues with the upgrade. As for the lights and air I'm not sure I follow what yer asking. I've run headlights spot light and foglights a/c and haven't noticed any major drop that the alternator couldn't handle. The accessory lights are led so not a big draw in power if thats what your looking for.
Hard to believe no one makes a bracket kit to fit the bigger alternator.
If they do I haven't seen it. Sure would make it easier.
Must be diff on the 4.0 for the cherokee ? for our ZJ grand cherokee, a 136-150 from the v8s fits fine no modifications ?
If you would have used the Dodge 130 amp it would have been a direct replacement for the stock 90 amp with no modification. Did you go through the alternator wiring and upgrade that from 90 amp to 130 amp gauge along with change out the fuse in the fuse box?
I'm running the jeepcables big 7 wiring kit so it has better amperage cables to everything. As for the fuse no.... I didn't think of that but I've had no issues with it since doing this swap so it never really crossed my mind.
I have 99 Jeep Cherokee sport and I would like to upgrade it from 90 amp to 130 amp , can you tell me which model of Dodge I should buy it ?
Did you upgrade wiring? I skipped around and may have missed you mentioning that. There was too much rambling. Also might want to add chapters.
Did the big 7 cable upgrade from jeepcables
Did you use a durango alternato or something else?
It was just a off the shelf 120amp cherokee alternator. But with the higher output its a larger housing.
@nextweeksadventure ok, thanks. Your videos are awesome 👌
If you do any grinding of the new alternator, the warrantee is canceled…
Never touched the alternator all mods are to the bracket only.
@@nextweeksadventure excellent!!! I can’t wait to do it myself then!
Where in CO did yall go to
Started in Florissant area ended in Leadville area. Amazing locations
@Next Week's Adventure nice. Next time yall come back try bishop castle and Spanish peaks. Summer time drive tho
@@nextweeksadventure from Rye Co back reads to graet sand dunes basically trinidad
What year is that jeep
1998
@@nextweeksadventure I bought a 96 xj with 88k miles .. I changed the starter, alternator and battery and I still have no crank start.. would you know what the issue could be
@@jaderamos46 check the crank position sensor 1st. Known for causing this issue. Test for spark from the ignition coil and the distributor. My coil just went dead one day easy replacement. Also you can test to see if you have fuel at the rail.
I tried the same thing but it was hitting the engine block I didn’t want to grind the engine block so I just put the stock on back in
Way too much talking, please just get to the point.
