Re: 99 Jeep Cherokee volts problem
 
I'll second the Gatorback reccomendation. It's $34 if you go through
partsamerica.com and pick it up at your local Checker/Schucks/Kragen store.
Pull the belt and check the pulleys, make sure the tensioner is tight.

You might also want to get a check done of the charging system. Most auto
parts stores offer then for free.

The only requirement is a fully charged battery..
