Was in process of upgrading few things to the jeep and noticed my alternator's not charging and my main battery are being drained "not charging":mad:
Cant seems to find the part number on them atm( but i did search the online to see what amp are pulling and its ranging 35~ 55amp.
I am planning to pull more amp later on with adding more day~night lights, so planning to upgrade them with higher amp alternator.
question is should i buy the voltage regulator type attached internal or external...????
and what amp range should I look for...?
of course I need to find one with OEM fitment....

Please help.... Thank you
:D:D:D:D
 
The best replacement will be a Delco 10SI or 12SI. You may have to tweak the spacing on the bracket to get the belt aligned properly, but basically a bolt-on. Available at every parts store and relatively cheap. If this is on something with a winch or that may have a winch in the future, I would go for at least the 93 amp version of the 12SI. You can reuse your 2 wires for excitation and the charge (idiot) light but you should match the "bat" alternator to battery lead with wire gauge to match the alternator output-usually in the 4 to 6 gauge range.

Lots of info on the web.
