Default High output alternator in renix?

My alternator in my RENIX jeep just died and I have one off a '93 HO, will it work correctly?

The Renix alt is internally regulated while the '93 is regulated in the PCM.

I don't know what would have to be done to modify the '93 to make it work.

Won't work. Renix is a Delco CS-130 and it can be had in various outputs.

Got a generator/starter shop near you? If so, go there.
