Yeah, for a Delco. But then I'd have the damned Check Engine light on
all the time. DC opted for a NipponDenso alt, with the regulator in
the PCM on my Jeep.
Them damn little Japanese alternators are more expensive than a good
ol' Delco.

Re: 95 YJ alternator...again
He has a newer Jeep, they don't have 'real' alternators like the older
ones.
If he uses a real alternator, then he will have a check engine light
which will fail him on emissions.
He only has a generator of sorts with no voltage regulator in it. The
regulator is now in the computer so if you want a 'new' voltage
regulator be prepared to fork out a couple grand. A used one is between
$250.00 and $500.00 from what I have heard.
