seeing that the vehicle is engineered better than most domestic and asian imports... the big 3 is moot... as for your alternator, call and twist arm of steve at wranglernw.com

try it first and see how it works, I see you have an older vehicle, but I strained the electrical system of a similar vehicle with 3 audison amps with no problems
