Hey all,
I have a chronic battery issue in that the jeep goes through them too quickly. I get about 2 years out of them. I've changed the alternator, have performed a bunch of testing, have figured out that I need to install new cabling that I'll be contacting 5-90 for, and I may have a charging issue related to the ECM.
I found this website: https://alternatorparts.com/external-voltage-regulator-high-output-alternator-kit.html that permits the voltage to be regulated without the ECM.
So then I got to thinking, can I install a late 80's XJ alternator on my 1996 XJ that is internally regulated? Will it physically fit? Anyone know?
Thanks,
Wes
