My track bar and coil spacers came in today!! I got excited and put the track bar to gether ITS BEEEEFFFFFYYYYY!!!!!!

I also ground down the block alernator mount I picked up from the jy to fir my 136 alt. That e fan is putting quite the load on my poor little 90amp unit. I can feel the engine slow down with the a/c / headlights/ and fan on high.. I'm doing th e upgrade next week after my cables come in

Also I measured my 1"spacers and they're 1 1/4" yall think the weight of the vehicle will squish them down 1/4"??

My alt

Whats the 136amp Alt off of? And how did you have to modify the bracket to fit? Have a/c?

I know, I know...not fair, 3 questions in 1.

The alt is off a 1997 zj wit a 5.2L but some other chrysler based vehicles have them as well. Some even have a 160amp (I didn't need that much power tho)

The alt is bigger than the bracket so you have to gind the inside of the bracket about a 1/4" (I keept grinding and test fitting till It fit

And this mod has nothing to do with the a/c

It might require a slightly long belt because of the larger pully or you could swap your stock pully on the new alt. ( ittl charge better with the smaller pulley (I'd swap mine but im gonna use my stock one as a trail spare))

no i was helpin a buddy move some stuff in apartment yesterday and didn't have time and it generally to close to dark when i get home so i leave the tinkering for my days off.. so itll either go on this week or next week depending on if my batt. cables are in. the alt upgrade is more at the top of my list

on another note i have a random misfire at #1 cyl at start up until im up to operating temp then it mostly goes awhay im hoping my 703s cure that

Check engine light on then? Mine was missing.. Well it seemed like it was missing to me for a week or so but never a check engine light and it suddenly just went away... Who knows.. Lol

The track bar is easy thought atleast that shouldn't give you any problems. I'm getting the same as you...

It came on last nightkinda. I wad umpluging injectors to see where the miss was and it threw codes for fauly injector circuts. And I've had had this miss for quite a while..I bet not having fixed my vacum leak isn't helping....but its not entire ly the cause cause it was there before I redid the exhaust
