00jeepXJ

Hey guys... couldn't find the info that i am looking for so I will ask. I have a 00 xj with a 124 amp alternator. I can't seem to find another in the local parts stores to replace it with. I don't want to go smaller. What year Grand cherokee would fit mine? Thanks for the advice!

see if you have a local autoelectric store i got my 130 amp made for me by ronsautoelectric in pinebush ny

I will definitely take a look to see if there is one near me in michigan.

mod_junkie

if i remember correctly any year grand cherokee works you just gotta modify it to fit

I think you just need to grind down the "Ears" on the GC alt and it will fit...Tj

True... thanks for replies though guys... it makes my life a little easier. I had seen a post on here a while ago and couldn't find it and it was about this same thing.

Dont know what part of MI you live in but O'Reilly Auto Parts lists a 136 amp rebuilt with a lifetime warrenty for the XJ(atleast for my 97 they do) it says some stores stock them. Might be something else to look into.

I replaced one on my truck with a Motorola alternator. It comes with a lifetime warranty and has stator taps to wire 110AC. When mine fails on the XJ this is what I will be buying.

but the 136 amp gc one can be had for like $35
