I just bought a 1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4 to use as a bad weather (winter) vehicle and for some daily driving. The thing has 129k miles on it and seems to run pretty darn good, came from a used car lot. I went through and have done a lot of the "regular" stuff including oil change, tranny fluid change, tranny filter, oil filter, air filter, PVC lines from the manifold, plugs, oil pressure sensor (broke it), antifreeze, and a fuel filter.
Problem I'm having is the volt guage is constantly pegged. Seems like she starts up fine however. The battery terminals were pretty nasty and corroded, cleaned them up.
So, sound like a battery that has had it? an alternator? any other ideas? I have no clue how old either is.
How hard is the alternator change on these anyway, maybe I should do it either way as some more preventive maintenence.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
