My alternator pulley is toast, and I was going to head to the U-Pull-It this weekend to grab another (since it's cheaper to do that then get a new pulley).
Anybody have a list of donor alternators that would work with the TJ (Specifically for a 1998)? I don't mind cutting an unused bracket off if I need to. I don't really care about higher power (If I do get a higher power alternator, I will also do the Big 3 upgrade to make sure it's safe).
So far, my research has yielded (For a 1998 4.0L):
1) Any TJ/YJ from 90-98 (2.5L or 4.0L)
2) Any XJ (Either 2.5L or 4.0L)
3) 2001-2006 Dodge Durango 4.7L V8 (per https://wranglertjforum.com/threads...o-alternator-into-your-jeep-wrangler-tj.3979/ )
4) 2004 Dodge Durango 3.7L (Per https://wranglertjforum.com/threads...o-alternator-into-your-jeep-wrangler-tj.3979/ )
Questions:
Is there a reason not all XJs work? Same question applies to all 04-06 Durangos with the 3.7L.
Looking at RockAuto, it seems that the Durango alternator is also compatible with a KJ, WJ, and a Commander. Is this true? (It looks like the 3.7L and the 4.7L engines are the same as the durango for the 05-06 WJ and the KJ.
Is the ZJ also a good donor?
Any others that anyone has tried?
