2000 XJ, 4.0, AW4, NP242. It looks like my 10-year-old alternator is finally starting to give out, and I could use some recommendations as to a replacement.
Normally this would just be a case of going to the auto parts store and picking one up, but I've got the factory high-output (124-amp) unit in there - and the closest I can find is 117 amps, which isn't a huge drop over stock, but given the amount of electrical stuff I tend to run (particularly in Winter) I'd like to keep as close to what I have now as possible.
Dropping $400 on a Mean Green, Powermaster, or similar alternator is right out. Having the XJ down for a few days while I get the dying one rebuilt also isn't a possibility at the moment, nor is the ZJ/WJ/Durango swap/upgrade.
