Does anyone know if there is a 136 amp (and up) alternator (off of another vehicle in a junkyard)that is a direct swap(no modifications required) into my '91 jeep 2.5L? Reason being is that I would rather buy an alternator from a local used parts place where i know tests the alternator to make sure it is good before they sell it to the public, and I am getting tired of hearing my alternator strain ning to keep up with my all my electronic stuff going.
The FAQ topic I quoted below only says some modifications required, but doesn't say how to modify, etc or if its neccessary for every alternator under every amp size. I am hoping someone can clarify this for me. I am assuming that modification is required for any alternator size with a * by it. Am I understanding this right.
Thanks for any help.

From what I understand, there is one that is a direct bolt-on. IIRC it's from the Dodge Dakota. I can't remember which years though, I was never really clear on that.
But otherwise, yeah, I'd like to know too.

Those are ALL for the most part Bolt-on.

I am just wondering because I don't want to have to cut wires just to make it fit. I just don't want to make a $50 mistake and have piece of junk laying around.
I am looking at the 136 amp alternator 2001-2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.9L, 4.7L, 5.9L - (PN:56041693AC Reman:R6041693AC)
because its off is the same jeep brand and is relatively on the newer side atleast.
Is this alternator just a pure bolt on and plug in type of deal for a 1991 jeep wrangler 2.5 L?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks for all the help.

i'm not 100% but i think that's the one i have - you only need to move the plastic protection on the 12v output as it points the other way (you might get away w/o doing that) - it is keyed (has a little nipple on the alternator case side) so you can use the one off the stock alt, i broke mine when i took it off so i clipped off the nipple with a pliers and that let me turn it around. other than that it's bolt on (again i think that's the one i have but not 100% - it's a 136amp off a GC and seems that is the only one there and the p/n sounds familiar).

Well, seems like now we know 8)

When they say 'practically' a bolt on, it's that simple. You don't have to cut or change any wires. All you have to do is reclock a plastic boot on the back where the pos cable attaches, and move a bushing within a mounting hole. The bushing taps easily enough to move. You may also have to swap from the 7-groove pulley to your 6-groove, depending on what application you source your new alt from. It's all a simple bolt-in.
