    JS alternator: shorter belt or larger idlers?

    Edit I found another belt not listed in the all parts list at gates and it is: K060876 6 rib 20mm 87.57” So it is closer to middle of the range and it is half the price of K960874A

    JS alternator: shorter belt or larger idlers?

    Ahh reading more on the JS site they state 1/2” - 1” shorter. The stock belt is a K060882 Effective length of 88.3” 6 rib 20mm width I see Gates offers K060874A Effective length of 87.44” 6 rib 20mm width I think that is as good as it gets…anyone else go a different route?

    JS alternator: shorter belt or larger idlers?

    I have a 2004 LJ with AC and purchased the upgraded Jeep cables and the JS alternator. The alternator pulley is smaller in order to turn faster and produce more amps at lower rpm (idle) but they instruct you to purchase a 1/2” smaller belt or larger idler pulleys. Has anyone already done this...
