Need Help with Charging System Problems for 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee
The fan belt likely just got polished up so it doesn't grab the alternator pulley. This happens all the time to my Jeep when i take them out to play in the mud. Mud = liquid sandpaper. Now that you ran it open voltage with no battery, the computer is very likely fried as well as the new alternator likely puked out it's electronics. Well, when my old roommate ran his with no battery thanks to an incompetent shop that forgot to tighten the cables so one fell off, he end the new alternator, the computer, the ignition module and his stereo. Hopefully you are luckier.... Need an SUV that can hold two 9' 4" kayaks 8' might fit, but not two 9'+ kayaks. One might fit if the front pbuttenger seat is folded down but not both of them, and... My test for a polished up belt is to take a cold off engine and try to hand slip the alternator pulley. If I can hand slip it, it will not grab good enough under load to charge. The alternator takes a few HP to spin up under load.
