This is on a 98 Wrangler with a 4.0 L
A few days ago the check gauge light came on. I checked the connections and the battery and all was well so I pulled the alternator and had it bench tested at 2 different parts stores and it failed at both locations. I done some research on some other forums and a lot of people are saying that they upgraded to a higher amperage alt. from like a Dakota or GC. Would this work or not? I think the 98 TJs have the voltage regulators in the PCM if the new alternator has one built in will there be a problem or will it matter? Anybody got any idea?
