I've got a Durango sitting in the driveway that I will be selling next year. Maybe I should switch alternators?
Just enough time to have another kid, talk about making your brain hurtThank you to all that replied. Now I think I'm even more confused on which way to go.
The odyssey battery is definitely what Ill be getting, but still not sure on the alternator. Sounds like the 90amp might be the way to go. Crap like this makes my brain hurt. One time it took me 9 months to decide which tires to put on my F250 . IDK haha
NO!!!!! I don't need no more kids! I want to retire!!!!!Just enough time to have another kid, talk about making your brain hurt
Wow! That sucks!NO!!!!! I don't need no more kids! I want to retire!!!!!
I'm already raising 2 grandkids for the past 8 years. Now we are in the process of adopting them.
Yea, the last thing we want is for them to be anything like their parents. Thieving drugging lazy worthless bums! And I am being nice about itWow! That sucks!
But good for you for stepping up!
Hopefully they turn out to be better people than their parents. (No implication toward you by any means) We raise kids the best we can, sometimes they make bad decisions and we have to deal w/ it.
It may fit, but you probably dont have enough power to turn it...lolI have the 2.5l in my Jeep does the Durango alternator still fit?
Most high output alternators will usually have two ratings, one for cold and one for hot. For example, this one’s rated at 370 amps cold and 330 amps at 200F:Something to remember.

Temperature ratings are often determined using a military standard of 122°F, measuring the ambient air temperature in the vicinity of the alternator. Sustained operation in hot engine room conditions will reduce alternator output. A hot alternator, operating at approximately 180°F–200°F will only supply about 80 percent of its rated capacity. Large-frame models generally run cooler than their smaller siblings because of their ability to dissipate heat. Small case alternators are not designed for continuous high-output operation.
That just meant the engineers had too much free time to calculate cold vs hot, go with the hot numbers and you will be good.Most high output alternators will usually have two ratings, one for cold and one for hot. For example, this one’s rated at 370 amps cold and 330 amps at 200F:

Wish I saw this post sooner. I learned of my install mistake when I couldn’t remove my coil rail recently.The Durango alt that fits the 4.0 is 160amp. One extra mounting arm on the top needs to be cut off or it blocks the coil rail from maintainance.
Mine has been installed for several years. I put one in because at my old job I was jump starting old cold diesel trucks in the winter far more often than I should have been. Maybe it helped.
So the 2005/6 models even block access to the coil pack with the alternator? That's just one more reason I'd never buy an 05/06 now. They really fucked up those two years.
Please enlighten me as to what makes them so Fucked up, aside from the OPD and possible pcm problems.So the 2005/6 models even block access to the coil pack with the alternator? That's just one more reason I'd never buy an 05/06 now. They really fucked up those two years.
