2015 jeep patriot alternator replacement

[@michaeltovar1996]

@fixitish You mention you requested a the higher amp alternator? What was the amps of the alternator of the alternator you installed? I'm trying to determine if I can fit/squeeze a 140amp alternator in my 2014 2.4L patriot before actually taking it off. I believe the OEM is 120amp, but I plan to add trail lights in the future. My model is a 4X4 FD1, and I believe that the trail rated FD2 models can fit 140amp. Assuming the space and fitment is the same, can I also squeeze in a 140amp in mine?

This video was an absolute Godsend, thank you!

If you are able to plan this, time it with an oil change and do it with the oil filter out. It makes for a bit more space and has to be done anyway

VERY HELPFUL VIDEO

I just did this for the 2nd time on my Patriot... don't get autozone alternators/Duralast.. they don't last and bust into pieces..The belt on the patriot is a mile long ! haha

[@fixitish]

@@midnitemonty 😆 the belt is really long

This is my second time too in less than 6 months

FYI: Usually before I mess with any connectors .I spray them down with electrical cleaner. Then spray it with some BLASTER silicon . Seems to make easier to disconnect. That's just me. Thanks for the directions.

[@fixitish]

@@raditian2 I never really needed to do that but I’ll probably try it out next time see how it works.

Did you have to drain the AC compressor

[@fixitish]

No you leave it alone. Only unbolt the ac compressor but leave all the lines connected

[@mikesempier]

@@fixitish ok cool, every other video said to. Just wanted to make sure It wasn’t necessary. Thanks!

[@fixitish]

@@mikesempier if you don’t feel comfortable doing it that way you can drain the ac system and remove the compressor completely but it’s not necessary. Just be careful to not move the lines too much and end up damaging them. You’ll feel how much it can move

[@mikesempier]

@@fixitish you the man, thank you!
