There's plenty of answers out there for the newer models but I think the renix era models can get confusing. I remember hearing a debate of an internal vs external regular for those models or something. Idk, good luck with your search.

I've seen some in eBay that are for the inline 6 with 150 amp would that be ok

what engine do you have.
go to their store on e buy. you will find alternators for all models.
with this alt there is no need to grind, or use a JY used one.
it is completely re-built.
mine looked brand new upon arrival.
