Jeep Cherokee XJ Alternator Upgrade
Upgrading the 1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ with a 1998 Dodge Durango 136amp Alternator. Just a quick tip when mounting the larger alternator housing.

What kind of hitch did you use on the front of your Dodge?
@@Police19005 It's a Curt Branded front receiver hitch. It's worked really well
Welding the diff spider gears is ok if you are only mowing the lawn. By doing all that you just made the gears temper harder and brittle and could chip and grenade your transaxle. There is a way to lock diff without welding or using collar to lock the axle.. now every time you turn the inside wheel will turn as fast as the outside and the excessive torque is all pointing on them welded gears.. enjoy while it last.. I did.... I learned the hard way now I know a better way. Good luck..
What size diameter is the axle shaft Hero ??? Thanks
It would have been nice if you would have shown where you welded it.
hi friend may I ask you why did you weld the differential? mine is the same. I have a problem with my tractor, it has no push, I can solve it as you did thanks friend
I have steep hills that I mow on, and attached a garden ripper to the back. So in order to keep traction, I welded the diff You lose a bit of turn radius, but well worth being able to go up and side to side on the hill and garden
@@hero3villain438 ok Thanks
Those 3 things on the positive battery terminal are circuit breakers, 50 amps each and in parallel they are 150amps total. Its not possible to pull more amps than that. Great video, I'm planning on doing the exact same thing on my truck. Thanks!!
Never double crimp!
Why
@@xigladiator510 Because it weakens the connection. The objective of trying to solidify it only weakens it and induces points of resistance with non-uniform compression. This connection may break, heat up or have poor contact over time for several reasons. You better start over with a new connector. Some connectors you can do 2 crimps but not one over the other. Here it is quickly!
This is one of the best designs I have seen for those of us that don't have a log arch. Great!
Nice work
This is exactly the video I needed right now, thank you!!!!!
Why do u have to weld ?
From my experience... welding the spider gears and the gears to the axle ensures a long lasting diff locker. Still have my mower locked and haven't had a single problem
Hero3Villain Thanks I didn’t know that .May have to do it if I have any problems.Just replaced bevel gears
How is stering with diff lock Sorry for my englesh im from slovenia
Hey the axle bearings on the ends of the axles, did you install them or was they already in the housing?
Those are actually Oil Seals (Dana part number 7088) they were already there, but I ended up replacing those as well because of leaks. Glad I did. Still working great
@@hero3villain438 ok thanks
Good video. Ive locked and relocked a few transaxles for my tractor. Any updates on how it held? Looked like you did a really good job. Are you building a racer or a off roader or something or just using it to cut grass or do yard work?
Thanks... I use this just as a mower right now, but am making adjustments so I can add a small 3 point hitch and have a disc and plow attachments. I haven't had any issue with the locked diff. Has worked great. Good luck on your diff
Great video!! Where did you source your wire from?
I got mine from a local electric company in town. But I know that Lowe's or Home Depot sell some of the larger gauge wire as well
Thanks. Plan to do same front and rear; any advice on running cable to rear hitch? What gauge to rear because of length of run reducing power to winch?
I ran 2 gauge to my rear hitch (about 22' from the battery) If I were to do it again, I would definitely spend the extra money to get 0gauge or even 1/0awg with a 350amp Anderson plug. I'd do that because the winch manual says that it could pull 300+ amps on 9000lb pulls. I'm no electrician, but that's what I'd do the second go around
Nice video. Do you need to run the negative all the way to the battery if you’re going to the rear or is a negative cable to anywhere on the frame sufficient?
Hi, great video, could you provide more info on the type of Anderson connector you used as well as the type of crimper? thanks
Thanks for the feedback... I went with the 175amp Anderson plug. The 350amp connection would give you more range and wouldn't restrict any amperage needed for the hard pulls. I purchased the hydraulic crimper from Harbor Freight (m.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html) I've used it for a bunch of projects and haven't had any issues. --Long winded but hope this helps--
