might have to replace the alternator or something on the belt drive as it was squealing this morning. but if it all goes well will be looking at living out of the jeep for the next month

man i wish i had a hoist!!

Where did you get the A/C (compressor?) is it the same as the 4.0 ?

Mine is on the way out

I have 3 XJ and 6 alternators, only 1 works

90amp Denso units

3 have been confirmed by autolec as most likely either diode or stator short

he (and I) do not know whether diode pack is still available

He advises cheap Chinese replacement (alts) have inferior diode packs which typically fail shortly after warranty expires

So it is a dilemma

I have already "repaired" a couple. If you are on a long trip, and your alt fails, you are up shit creek
