I dont know where you are looking but Im seeing them for round $200, look under your year, and then select "Liberty" as the vehicle model.

That's right I meant, everywhere else I've looked their around the $750, although I actually found one for $500 yesterday.

On Rockauto, the Denso is about $260 odd, plus about $75 delivery, all up it works out to about $400 delivered or thereabouts.

Jeepboy79,
Ahh yes I see what you mean now, yeah good one, although I did make the mistake of not accounting for the aussie dollar compared to u.s now, its still pretty good though, but was sweet when on parity.

So it's now about a week since I first detected the rattling noise coming from the alternator and things have taken a sharp turn downwards. The rattling noise is now extremely apparent, sounds like the bearings are in a plastic bottle being shaken from side to side.

I found a place that will effectively recondition my alternator for $285. I thought about replacing just the pulley but I'm about to get a new battery as well so our prefer to know the alternator is working 100%. Complete refit basically and comes with a one year warranty. Will see how it goes tomorrow...

Reconditioned alternator is in. Now I'm waiting for my glow plugs...which means I'll need to take it back out again.....yeah....
