I'm having some electrical problems and cannot decide if the battery or alternator need to be replaced. I was out of town this weekend and when I tried to start my Jeep Sunday it would not start. The interior lights would not even glow. It is possible that I left the interior lights on, but I am not sure. I jump started it and now it only shows 12 or 12.5 on the volt meter. I ran it for about thirty minutes this morning and still showing only 12 or 12.5. I cannot decide if the alternator is not putting out enough or if the battery is bad. What is your guess?
If it is the alternator is bad, is there a reasonably priced upgrad for my 83 CJ7? I was wondering if there was a better alternator that would bolt up and boost the output some. If there is a better alternator, what vehicle did it come on? I would like to be able to go into the local parts store and tell them I need an alternator off a ?????
