Anyone know how long an alternator on a 93 XJ usually? Mine has 148K miles on it, and there's no record that it was ever replaced. Would having it rebuilt or replaced be a good idea, or should I just wait until when/if it actually fails. I'm just a bit paranoid because the alternator on my previous vehicle, a Dodge Colt, needed replacing not once but twice.
Also I've noticed the voltage as read on the dashboard voltmeter occasionally drops to 12 volts, but I assume this is OK since it still runs fine and is above the red line on the meter.
