most facotry ones are 60 or 90 amp. your best bet would be just to buy a new replacement unless your running HEAVY stereo equipment then go for a 170 amp

The Grand Cherokee had a 130 amp model that is suppose to work. Also I remember a post talking about a direct replacement 120 amp one you could get.

Find a good local shop that rebuilds alternators, and have em give yours a little more punch.

No heavy stereo, just want to have the heat on high and all the lights on without a huge drop in power.
