[ihc] Wrangler NW alternators?

[Joel Furtek <jf7e@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,
Shopping for a Delco CS144 -style alternator, and looking for a 
little more than the 100-amp output on my current (predictably, dead) 
one, without going to a chrome shiny piece of junk that puts out less 
at idle.
Has anyone used an alternator from Wrangler NW?  I've followed the 
discussion(s) of the Mean Greens, but I'm a little far from the 
Border to get a rebuild down there.
Willing and almost able to spend about $250 if it's a quality, solid 
piece of work.
Will of course upgrade wiring, etc.
IH content:  the 6.5TD drives a _lot_ like the 392.  Almost the same 
displacement, power, torque levels and curve.  The only differences 
seem to be price (1.5-2x for a reman 6.5), complexity (whoa), and 
fuel mileage (1.5x better with the diesel).
Also, I noticed that when speaking of tools, no one mentioned a 3 or 
4 pound engineers hammer.  :-)  Perfect tool for extracting the shaft 
of a headlight switch.  So long as you have a replacement switch 
handy.
Best to all,
Joel
