[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 437669, member: 18789"] Well, I dunno what to say, but YJs are pretty simple in the charging department. There are no other parts that can cause 19V to be the charging voltage except for a bad alternator or a PCM not properly regulating the alternator. You are using a proper multimeter to measure this 19V, and you have the settings set right on it, correct? Lots of people see the gauge out of the safe zone and freak out but don't have a real problem, just a gauge problem. You seem more apt than that but have to ask anyways. Know any YJ friends you could borrow the computer or alternator out of for some free experimenting? On a side note, I am curious how you know it's overcharging with the stroker when it looks like the install of the stroker is not complete? I'm guessing you assembled the accessory drive just enough to crank the motor on and then tore the alternator bracket and belt back off for testing? [/QUOTE]
