Zj alternator swap headaches
I read the write up about the zj alternator into a renix cherokee but have a problem. I have tried 3 alternators with the same problem. Not cranking enouhg voltage. I guess its the regulator, but its brand new. I will try to find a new one (again) and install it when it gets back from paint. Any opinions or suggestions? I disconnected the regulator and it the voltage either stayed the same or lowered

What is the voltage at 1500rpms and 3000rpms
" I disconnected the regulator and it the voltage either stayed the same or lowered"
Can you explain some more on this one?
I'm leaning towards a faulty regulator as you said you've tried 3 different alternators.
Hoping some others here will post some opinions also.

one alternator seems to charge a bit more than the others but no clue to what is going on. the belt was properly installed. the voltage is never stable at any rpm. jumps between 13.5 and 12.5 eradicly
