Ultima 140 Amp Alternator - Remanufactured

Ultima 160 amp alternator - remanufactured, what is an alternator.

The alternator recharges the battery to restore power that is depleted during starting and keeps the electrical accessories on your car powered while it is running. The alternator is driven by the engine belt and may be controlled by the engine computer or voltage regulator to prevent overcharging. Over time, the internal windings and brushes of the alternator can wear out or become contaminated with grease or oil, and this can keep the alternator from producing adequate voltage for recharging or operation. When the alternator loses capacity or fails, the electrical systems of your vehicle will only stay on until the battery's reserve charge has been depleted. Your car might die, but you might be able to restart it with a jump start or by recharging the battery to park somewhere safe. If you notice that your headlights dim when using your power windows, or if your battery just won't stay fully charged, it may be time to replace your alternator or other charging system parts. If you're not sure whether your alternator is the source of the problem, check the tension of your belts to make sure the alternator is spinning while the engine runs, and stop by your local O'Reilly Auto Parts where we can test alternators on or off of your vehicle. If you need a new alternator or other charging system parts, you can shop our selection of replacement alternators, car batteries, and starters to find the parts you need to make your repair.

2009-2020 Dodge Journey 2.4L 250-320-370-400amp High Output Alternator

Most JS Alternators are custom built to order and typically take 5-15 business days to be built and shipped.

We offer free shipping in the United States. Orders ship in approximately 5-15 business days, sometimes sooner. Alternators that require a custom bracket can take 10-25 business days. If for some reason parts are on back order, we will notify you, but this is not common.

This is a direct fit high-output alternator for the 2009-2020 Dodge Journey 2.4L. This alternator is a custom built alternator made with custom fabricated brackets that are laser cut to precision. With our teams dedicated innovation we have been able to design these custom brackets for direct fitment.

This high-output alternator comes with a factory style plug so that your OEM plug will plug directly into the alternator. Therefore, with an OEM style regulator, it will have a factory voltage set point.

NOTE: If you require charging at a certain voltage setpoint, we offer a selection of different voltage regulators that you will need to purchase with the alternator for it to be installed. View our Regulator Options Here.

This alternator also comes with a smaller pulley, which causes it to spin faster than a larger pulley. This can help the alternator produce its maximum output. With a smaller pulley, it is required to install a 1/2" - 1" shorter belt.

See this Blog Article for assistance in finding the correct shorter belt.

Big 3 Wiring:

When Upgrading to a High-Output Alternator, it is required to upgrade your wiring with the Big 3 Wiring Upgrade Kit . It is recommended to use 1/0 100% copper wires for the upgrade. Our Big 3 Wiring Upgrade Kit is 10% off with a purchase of a JS Alternator; use code BIG3DISCOUNT at checkout.

Learn Why The Big 3 Wiring Upgrade Kit is Required for All High Output Alternators

REQUIRED Installation Steps:  

(Wear eye protection, remove jewelry/loose items, and allow car to fully cool before starting installation)

• Batteries must be fully charged before installation.
• Make sure vehicle is off and engine is cool.
• Disconnect the negative cable from the battery/batteries.
• Disconnect all other wiring from the alternator.
• Remove the belt (note the belt routing before removing).
• Remove the bracket bolts and original alternator.
• Mount the new alternator. Typically the original bolts will be used.
• The belt must be replaced with a .5 to 1-inch shorter belt when installing a high output alternator, unless otherwise specified.
• Install the new belt.   Make sure the routing is correct and the belt is aligned with all pulley grooves.

Grounding (Uni-body frame warning):   Many newer vehicles have “uni-body” or sheet metal frame structures with no traditional “full frame”. Because of seams and adhesive attached body components, additional steps may be required for proper chassis grounding. Choose the location on the sub-frame with the thickest metal possible. If there is lower than spec charging voltage at the battery, move ground connections or add additional ground cables to different frame components.

***   WARNING *** Keep all electrical wiring at least 12” away from heat sources to avoid fire of the cable jacket!

There are THREE Regulator styles.   Read each to determine which one your alternator has and read its the included notes :

• Factory Plug:   The factory harness can be plugged into the new regulator. Be sure factory plug is clear of all debris and fully snapped into place in regulator.

• Self Excite Alternators :   Self-exciting or better known as “one wire” alternators will have NO plug on the alternator, and the OEM alternator harness plug will be left disconnected. This type of alternator requires only the positive and negative battery cables to be connected to the alternator to function. These alternators are internally regulated and will turn themselves on and off with engines rotation and regulate their own charging voltage. (This may cause battery light to come on).

It is highly recommended you add a dash mounted volt gauge.

• Connect the battery ground and confirm all other electrical connections are complete.
• Confirm the belt path is correct and clear of obstacles.
• Before starting the vehicle confirm that the battery is charged, as starting the vehicle with a discharged battery can damage the alternator.
• Use a battery charger to charge the battery first if voltage is inadequate.

Ground Path Resistance Test

If resistance is greater than 0.1V confirm the following:

• Confirm that all paint, anodizing, or rust is removed, and the connections are to bare metal.
• Make certain all terminals are tight to the wire.
• Make certain the ground wire is of proper size.

Charge Path Resistance Test

• Make sure alternator charge post nut is tight.
• Make sure charge wire is proper size.

Battery Recommendation

• 2000 watts:   upgrade main battery, 1 rear battery
• 3500 watts:   upgrade main battery, 1-2 rear batteries
• 5000 watts:   upgrade main battery, 2-3 rear batteries
• 7500 watts:   upgrade main battery, 3-4 rear batteries – 2 alternators
• 10,000 watts:   upgrade main battery, 3-5 rear batteries – 2 alternators

Have you been having Power issues?

Dim headlights? Low voltage? Bad sounding audio?

Are you tired of your vehicle's electrical system struggling to meet your demands?

Upgrade to a high-output alternator to ensure a steady and reliable power supply, even under heavy loads.

Eliminate Voltage Drops

Do you experience dimming headlights, flickering interior lights, or a weak audio system? These issues are often caused by a lack of power from your stock alternator. Switching to a high output alternator will provide the necessary voltage to keep all your electrical components running smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Orders ship in approximately 5-15 business days, sometimes sooner. Alternators that require a custom bracket can take 10-25 business days. If for some reason parts are on back order, we will notify you, but this is not common. If payments are being made on an order, your order will start processing when the order is placed.

We offer lifetime warranty on alternator labor and a one year warranty on parts. All orders are heavily wrapped for shipping with several layers of big bubble wrap and two layers of boxes along with a Fragile sticker on the box. If you have to ship your alternator back, please be sure you wrap it the same way to prevent further damage. See more details on our warranty page.

Each of our high output alternators come with smaller overdrive pulley. This pulley is made to increase low RPM charging for maximum output. It is custom for the diameter of the overdrive to be less than your factor pulley, depending on the kind of vehicle you own. For this reason, unless otherwise specified, you will need at least a 1/2 inch shorter belt. You can purchase this from any auto parts store. In using the belt and the pulley system, ensure that each part of the pulley system is free of oil or grease, this will help its efficiency.

It is important to make sure that the small regulator plug that is located on the back of the alternator is well plugged in for the correct functionality. Do not forget to plug it in completely, try not to jam the plugs in backwards, and avoid pinching it in order not to create a short. For more information on regulators and wiring see installation instructions.

Our high output alternators come with an overdrive pulley. The pulley is designed to improve low RPM charging so that it yields maximally. Do not change this overdrive pulley out with a larger diameter pulley. When alternator pulley diameter is increased, the output amperage decreases. Changing the pulley will void all warranties

As promised to all our customers, our products are fully tested ensuring their outstanding performance before shipping. In our experience through the years, it is in many cases not the alternator itself. You must ensure you consider a few possible concerns in your troubleshooting – please read the instruction manual thoroughly.

The reason could be one of two things: Either the plug is wired incorrectly or the computer is sensing the higher voltage and causing the battery light to come on even though the alternator is charging properly. Please refer to the instruction manual tab on the website for specific instructions that will help you with wiring. For some older vehicles, the factory style regulator is not available with the hairpin style alternator. This is why your high output alternator will come already “upgraded” with the 15 volt regulator. It will have an oval plug which requires splicing into the factory plug. This is a simple ,fast step and these instructions are detailed for you in the instruction manual.

Yes, please visit prismaticpowders.com then scroll to the bottom of the page. Select color match and enter your information. When ordering on the JS Alternators website, select the custom prismatic powdercoating color option, and include the specific color you chose from prismaticpowders.com. There is an additional $10 charge for custom colors, and the custom colors are required to come from prismaticpowders.com

We use your vehicles stock voltage unless requested otherwise.

2009 Journey 2.4 ALTERNATOR OVERHEATING

By Dennis February 13, 2017 in Electrical, Battery & Charging

Recommended Posts

I have an issue with the 2009 Journey SE 2.4.  I have a new battery  and a alternator that is functioning properly.

The alternator  will put out 14 or so volts, but within 5 minutes it gets so hot that is will sizzle if you spit on it.  Then it stops putting out power and the car eventually will run the battery  down.  I have changed out the wire on the alternator and ran it direct to the jump terminal, and it will put out 14 or so volts until it heats up and stops working.   Is there a fuse  or relay for the alternator  anywhere, I do not see one marked in the fuse  box?  The alternator  is functioning until it overheats.  I have changed out 3 alternators so I know it is not the alternator , I suspect a wiring problem somewhere but  unsure where?  Any ideas?

In the old days I would look for a voltage regulator.  I think the voltage regulater is built in to the BCM....Something is calling for max amps all the time.  Might be a short somewhere as well.  I know, not much help here.  Maybe Journyman will see this and have better information for you.

You checked the voltage, how about how many amps?

you need to find a clamp on amp meter and see how current you drawing .. something is drawing a lot of current . running the wire to the jumper block might be bypassing something .. have you checked the sense wire out , it might not be connected 

OK, new clue to the puzzle.

All the amp readings were good, there was no issue with the direct wiring to the alternator /starter/battery/fusebox.  However, suddenly the car would not start, like it was dead, but  battery  fine.  I had a friend turn the key and I was pushing and pulling on the area of  the harness that holds the original wire from the started to the alternator  and the car started right up, not only that, the alternator  did not overheat, it appeared to be solved.  But turn the car off and it is dead, until you manipulate the harness then it fires right up.  I suspect there is a wire within that area of the harness that is causing the problem. I have a sneaky suspicion that the wire in question will be one the wires from the plug of the alternator .  I will keep you posted, please respond if have dealt with anything like this.  I have attached a wiring diagram for 2009 2.4L Journey

You are definitely on to something here!  Maybe a little critter got in there and chewed something?  Check for corrosion at each connector.  You may have to open up the wire loom and check each wire, could be a wear spot and something shorting, not making contact, etc.  could be the wires are fine and its the connector in the PCM.......

Good luck and please keep us informed!

my daughter has a 2007 caravan kept having a problem with coil packs going bad finally the mech found inside a connector was melted a bit and would burn out the coil pack  replaced the connector and solved the problem,,,   also ys ago had about the same problem with the electric rad fan not clicking on ended up being the connector also 

Believe I have found the suspect wire, It is the wire that connects to the starter, not the main power wire, the wire that connects with a female spade connector.  I replaced it, and all seems ok now, but I have been in the position before, thinking all was well then 2 weeks later the car wont start.  Ill keep you posted.  Also, I have attached another wiring diagram.  I did ultimately make a new power wire for the alternator and bypassed the starter, taking it straight to the jump post with an inline 125 amp fuse  on it, seem fine.
