so by now you've been running it for a few months.. how are things going with it???? still recharging like nuts or did you burn anything up??

 

Not so.

1984-1986 - Delco 12SI, used a two-pole MOLEX plug for the internal regulator.
1987-1990 - Delco CS-130, used a four-pole Weatherpack plug for the internal regulator
1991-2001 - Nippondenso of various sizes, all externally regulated.

You have either two stud connectors (M6, I believe) for the field coils, or the later NDs used a two-pole plug for the same purpose. The field coils are not polarised, and can therefore just be connected to the wires in either order.

I'm actually working on finding pigtailed plugs to make adapter kits for this mod - that will allow you to switch back easily, if you need to.

However, all of the ND alternators used 1991-up in Jeep and Chrysler Corp. vehicles are externally regulated, and the only differences are the connexion for the regulator to the field coils (studs or plug) and the frame size (90m/m, 117m/m, and 130-odd m/m, I believe.)

 

No, I actually got a adjustable one and everything is good. The only thing I think I need is a smaller pulley b/c at idle the lights pulsate a little. As the rpms rise its goes away. Its just spinning alittle too slow. Remember its not really made to go in this setup so alittle custom stuff is in order. Overall I think its great. I do not have any issues other than that.

I am rebuilding a new one and when I do it will have the same setup b/c its a renix too.

 

ahh.. did you find the adjustable one on ebay also?? i want to do the swap on my 87MJ and the alt in it currently is not doing a very good job... idle RPMs has the same result dim dim dim.... a little throttle and light bright!!! lol so i feel its time for an alt swap and why not just upgrade while im at it

 

if upgreding with new alt why not just buy the higher amp one for the vechicle i think it would be much simpler no?

Renix, grr

No need to upgrade alts unless your running alot of items(lights, winch, audio, etc.) Just get a smaller pulley

 

grr no grr vroom vroomm

 

I had lots of grr when I had a renix

 

lol i got a good one

 

All the ones you have there are 100amp or less. The stock is 90 amp. Not much increase. Also, one that fits and higher cost alot. This was not simple but works and cost less. So, I got the same 136 amp that others, that are not renix, upgrade to just had to add an external Voltage Reg. Not too bad.

 

I have a Grr Renix one too but its getting better.

 

LMFAO!! hahaha thats good

yea i'd rather buy a used alt at $30 and do some custom fab to get my higher amps over spending $200 on something that will give me the same result... upgrade on the cheap

 

Exactly. But I went and bought a new alternator also when I did mine. But I have a warr. and if I need a new one I can just go pick one up rather than deal with having to order a new high output on that fits like OEM.

 

I know this is an old thread but hoping for a bite.
I went to the link provided and all the photos are broken. Do you have a recent blog of your upgrade?
