$35 Jeep 4.0 Alternator Upgrade - Stock 90 amp to Dodge 130 amp

How to swap your stock Jeep 4.0 alternator (90 amp) for a much more powerful one out of a 90's Dodge truck that will push 130 or 160 amps. This swap took us 1.5 hours and cost under $40! The purpose of this swap was to upgrade the electrical system for use with a winch controlled plow system. This swap also makes sense for anyone running auxiliary lights, an upgraded sound system, or other accessories that draw a lot of power. This vehicle is a 1993 ZJ Grand Cherokee, but this will work on a TJ Wrangler, WJ Grand Cherokee, and XJ Cherokee with the 4.0L engine.
Dodge Years the motor was used. I believe mine was from a 1998.
1994-2001 5.2 L (318 cu in) Magnum V8
1995-1997 5.2 L (318 cu in) Natural Gas V8
1994-1997 5.9 L (360 cu in) Magnum V8
1998-2002 5.9 L (360 cu in) Magnum V8

Two notes in this video guys for an buying new alternator it is much cheaper to get a dodge 130amp alternator then a jeep one. Also at the yard these alternators are dime a dozen.

After 2 years from watching this video, it finally happened. My stock alternator gave out and there I was at the ol pick your part. Found the 136 amp from a 1500 5.9 (weird but that's what was on it.) and BAM! installed in less than a hour thanks to yall. Cheers!

I did the ksuspension power upgrade on my XJ and I barely had to touch the key to get her to start. Makes the power windows work better too. Nice thing about it was that it took the fusible link out of the system and replaces it with a mega fuse available at any parts store. On my 5.2 ZJ I did the same thing, only I got a 160 amp Durango alternator from my local U pull, not because I need it (yet) but because why why not? Also, before I did the power upgrade on my ZJ I had a power window that didn't work. After I put it on, it started to work.

It took me waaaay too long to find a vid that had a simple "what to cut and put back together" layout. Taking a '94 XJ 90 Amp and going to a 180 amp aftermarket Durango alt. Gotta do some grinding to make it fit, but now I know the wiring... I'm all in. My head has finally quit hurting about this. The dead wire snips and using wire strippers for crimpers was worth the price of admission. My shade tree heroes.

Nice job guys. Good info. One thing to note: crimp connectors are actually the correct way to do it, just with better quality ones that you can visually inspect (non insulated) prior to shrink tubing. The stock harness on any modern car has nary a solder joint on it for a reason: solder + vibration + heat = failure. So, your laziness in getting the iron paid off. Congrats. :)

@hotshtsr20
@hotshtsr20 6 лет назад
D&E In The Garage no kidding. :) Best ones are a matched set (connector and crimper only work together). Otherwise, most non insulated work well. I crimp right on the seam with the wire centered so the connector curls and splits/grabs the wire

Thank you guys for this video. Did this about an hour ago on my 94 zj as my alternator was on the way out; went and bought a new 99 durango 5.9 alt (bought pig tail at junkyard for $1) This is a stupid easy upgrade I would've never thought of it if I didn't stumble on to your video. Btw my battery box was not worth the time to remove and the alternator slides in easy(ish) from the bottom for anyone else who doesnt have time to waste on rusted rounded bolts. You guys got a sub out of me thanks.

Hey guys. You could have used one of those cold heat cordless solding pens on this job. You can get one for about $20. I now have my second one and they work like a charm. I found out the hard way NOT to leave a piece of solder sticking between the two contact probes because the next time you use it, there's a chance you'll burn out the elements inside the pen. At least I think that's what caused my first one to stop working. Anyhow, one of those would have been perfect for soldering those connectors to the "new" alternator on this project. The cold heat soldering pens / irons produce instant heat at the point of contact and I mean INSTANT heat that will melt the solder in about 2 seconds.....literally.

Question for you man I've went through and started looking at your videos I'm thinking of installing a second battery and running it parallel to keep 12 volts if I switched up to a 250 amp alternator instead of a 110 that would not harm the batteries would it it would only help and charging them quicker correct reason for two batteries is a 5000 watt inverter to run a compressor and shop lights out of the back of my van
@DEInTheGarage
@DEInTheGarage 6 лет назад
Dang, that sounds pretty cool. I will be honest with you, I am not certain what implications such a heavy system would have. My initial thought is that it should be ok as the 250 amp is what is possible, not what it pushes all the time... That said, I am not sure what other parts of the system might be affected. I would try to track down an electrical engineer and see what they say about it. There is a guy on YoutTube named MartinBuilt. He does some CRAZY stuff and I believe electrical is his profession. You might have better luck tracking him down to see what he says about it. ru-vid.com Good luck with it! I'd love to know how it turns out

I've never seen it that low before in the 10+ years that I've owned it. I've checked the battery with my multimeter several times, including this morning with it running and all accessories on and my meter is routinely showing 14.35-14.37 volts with everything on and 14.45 volts with it running and all accessories off. Have these cluster voltage gauges been known to just randomly lose their accuracy all of a sudden, after so many years? Anything else I should be looking at, or should I assume everything is okay in the charging system? Thanks!

@@williamjwarren3735 i hear ya. I watched this vid years ago and looked at ram trucks in the yard and out of about 5 trucks i couldn't tell what any of the amps were on the alternators. Looked up several #s and closest i got were trucks compatible with them but not exactly what they were. They dont make it as easy as looking at the part# on them for some reason.

" IT'S CALLED A HARNESS DELETE & IT GIVES YOU 20 MORE HP., DON'T DO IT " LMFAO. I just picked up a Denso 56027913ALT. from Craigslist & a Starter for $10. They were off a 98 Grand 5.2, Alt. is 1 month old & starter is about 3months old the guy said ? I'm not sure though how many AMPS. the Alternator is though ? He also left about 4 inches of wire on all the connections & the one bolt on the ALT. Nice vid. GUYS.

Does a 2002 alternator work with a 4.7 engine and alternator
@DEInTheGarage
@DEInTheGarage 5 лет назад
No, this mode is for the 4.0 only. i am sure there are alternator upgrades for the 4.7, but I am not sure what they are

dodge durango alternator will work with 4.7 and 4.0 jeep wj’s
@tylerpearce2000
@tylerpearce2000 5 лет назад
2005 durango 4.7 alternator is 160 amps and i think the wj is 130 amps stock if i’m not mistaken so it’s an upgrade. you can also get 250 amp and 320 off ebay and other websites

Hey, sorry about that. Try this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aV-WCWPrNMU.html If not, try looking for it in our catalog. it is called "Rear Shock Mount FIXED - Jeep Cherokee XJ"

Question- did you have to grind down the alternator in any way? I keep hearing that may be needed.
@DEInTheGarage
@DEInTheGarage 5 лет назад
We did not have to remove any material from the housing of the alternator. I have heard of swaps where that is required, but this is not one of them

Is the bigger alternator effecting mpg?
@DEInTheGarage
@DEInTheGarage 6 лет назад
No, not really. Technically I suppose to puts a BIT more draw on the engine, but not enough you would notice. maybe on a long highway ride you would see a slight decrease in MPG. Very slight.

everything i find is an 117, 136 or 160 amp do you have a part number
@ericdraghi5815
@ericdraghi5815 6 лет назад
E from the D&E in the Garage the original part number I was looking for was a Denso 56029. That is the 160amp alternator but it was very hard to find in decent condition. So I started looking for any 5.2l dodge with the “bunny ears mounts” that had a new afternarket one and googled the part number to see which amp it was. That’s how I found the 130amp.

@dezertdestroyer7782
@dezertdestroyer7782 2 года назад
So I put a 136 in mine and it fucking is worse than my 90 I had in there for some reason I don’t know what the fucks going on maybe the one I got is defective somebody said I needed to upgrade the main wire that comes off of the alternator that has a fusible link to the fuse box I need to upgrade that till like a two gauge at least and also the other positive wire that goes from the battery to the fuse box to a zero or two gauge…. But it makes no sense that now it works worse than it was and it won’t keep my battery charged… 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️😫😫😵‍💫😵‍💫😪😪😪

Will that alternator go into 2.5l jeep?
@DEInTheGarage
@DEInTheGarage 6 лет назад
I do not know the answer to that. I will try to find an answer and hit you back. good question!
@DEInTheGarage
@DEInTheGarage 6 лет назад
So i was able to confirm that for most years the 2.5 and the 4.0 shared the same alternator. That SHOULD be that this swap will work for your 2.5 the exact same way it worked for our 4.0. I cannot find any information that would disagree with that. if you decide to go for it, I would be really interested to hear about your experience.
