The new alternator is internally regulated, so no matter how many amps the alternator is rated at, (peak output of 105) the alternator only puts out...

You go about it the same way I do David. Gather every drop of info I can find, sort the "chiff from the chaff" and go for it well informed.

Thanks guys! Yes, GM had a good description of the routing, but I've been struggling with this and a couple other things for a while now. I have...

The alternator I'm installing is substantially high amp than original. New one is 105 amp! Will this also require changing the coil. Pretty sure...

Wiring Diagram supplied with the harness.

Here is a link to see if it helps to visualize the routing. Bmorgil's attachment from the service manual should get you the rest of the way. ...

See if this photo helps at all. gm has described the path the cable takes pretty well. There is a link to the service manuals here in the forum:...

gmwillys, the KW link you posted doesn't appear to exist any more. If you have any pull with the KW folks, can you see if this can be reposted or an...

Wiring skills are without doubt the weakest area of my automotive knowledge! Online research seemed to indicate the signal wire needs a one way...

I have a four foot section of 1/2" log chain with a large hook on one end. I have found that that chain works best for most applications when used...

Great experience you shared gm. Definitely the way to go about it. Find some threaded holes and use what you can find to hold the chains off of...

First thing, the jeep looks great out in the snow. I was just out today with mine cruising through over a foot of snow in 2 wheel drive, they really...

I would look into one of these F134 lifting hard points. There is two positions made into it for lifting just the engine or the whole assembly with...

Sounds good, I just looked things over more tonight and it looks like the trans will come out really easily. I don't have a trans. jack, but I think...

A few words about alternators: https://willysjeepforum.kaiserwillys.com/showthread.php?2734-6-volt-to-12-volt-Conversion-The-Easy-Way Since you...

Couple pics from Saturday. Jeep is impressive in snow!

Alternator died on me over the weekend! I bought a GM alt coupe years ago and still have it + the new pulley required to use the original belt....

I'm know the '46 Heep has one, but was it original or did I pull it from the military stock?.... That was before yesterday, so I don't remember. I...

Looking good davide. I agree, the previous fender washer left its impression.

Welcome Park McClung, Facebook marketplace or Craigslist is my first stop for things of this matter. The last resort is Ebay, since they...

I agree with Bmorgil, remove the front clip with the fenders. That will give you the best way to see exactly what you are doing. Save the standing...

That is interesting 56', I did not think it was used on anything but military vehicles. The story goes, it assisted in keeping the fan out of the...

I think it is much easier to work on with the fenders off. The transfer case, transmission, and engine assembly will get gangly if you try to pull...

Thanks guys as always! I love hearing the stories and tips from those who have experienced what I haven't. Helps me think of things with better...

Just for your information; both of my CJs have a cable from the crossmember to the bellhousing. Some civilian jeeps must have had it, maybe some...

The more I look at this and the more feedback I get, I believe a previous owner pieced together a quick fix. Check out how the fender washer fits...

That's it, very helpful, thank you

That is for the motor control tether aka "Stay Cable". I don't think it was used on anything but the military versions. It was to control movement of...

Thanks guys, i was able to track 1 down thru midwest willys
