Okay, 98xj 4.0, AW4, 185K miles. Late last week, check gauges light comes on, charge gauge is buried all the way to the left. A little further down the road the belt starts to squeal. I pop the hood and shut off the engine. everything seems ok. I start it again and the charge gauge goes up and all is well. Next morning, same thing, so I figure that the alternator is going bad. after all, as far as I know, it's the factory unit. I take it to a guy that rebuilds them, he calls me this morning and tells me that, other than being full of mud, the alternator works fine. If it's not the alternator, what could it be? Any help greatly appreciated. Right now I'm borrowing a vehicle and need to get my xj back on the road ASAP! Thanks!
