Default 99 Cherokee 4.0 Alternator

Hi, it looks like my alternator has decided to quit and I'm trying to find which alternators fit my Jeep or what are these like to rebuild. I have been having problems for the last couple of days, the check gauge light would come on with the charging gauge at 0 and restarting it would sometime go to 11 and then kick up to 14 or go to 0. I could usually get it to 14 with another restart but now it just goes to 11 and and then to 0 with the check gauge light coming on. I've reset the cpu with no changes so I'm looking for either a rebuilt kit or another alternator. Of course this happens with all the stores closed..

Cdn Tire or Car Quest.is your best bet for a rebuilt one (they will take ur old one) Most don't rebuild it anymore found trying to find a kit ends up as costly as a rebuilt from the store
OR you can try a scrap yard - When I had my (89 xj) that's where I was able to pick one up from

Thanks for the suggestion. I had checked first thing this morning since I needed to get the jeep back on the road. The price for a rebuilt from Partsource is $268 plus tax so I gave a call to a shop that I thought was closed and got a rebuilt for $100 plus tax. This shop builds my upgraded alternator for my summer car, he's good and stands behinds his work. I also like to buy from small shops like that so the money isn't headed offshore. The shop's name is Victoria Starter & Alternator and is in Kitchener

Glad you got fixed up, I agree with the small guy if he is good do business with him and pass his name around..Next time someone is looking for an alternator/starter I will pass his name along.
