I have a 1995 Jeep Cherokee. There were a few starting problems with it. The first thing I decided to do with my friend is pull out the starter and take a look at it. A piece of it was broken off inside the jeep so we figured that would be a good idea to replace. However, it did not solve the problem as I found out the day after when I decided to try and drive it 2 hours north to fix the alternator on my 1992 Honda.
The power ran out while driving, definitely the alternator. Had to call someone to drive me to auto store where I got a new alternator and battery just to be safe.
Normally an alternator on a serpentine belt is a really easy fix... not so much for a 95 Jeep Cherokee. There is no tension pully. Instead I unbolted one of the pullys to take the belt off and replace it and forced it back in place. That sucked.
Go me.
