After reading all of this. I still say that this is EXACTLY how my '95 trooper w/ SOHC acted when the ground was bad and when I had a battery come apart on me. Same stalling, dim lights, trouble lights, sputtering, etc. I would not change the alternator until the battery is confirmed OK.

Also, where did you pick up you spark plug seals? I'm going to change my valve cover gaskets soon.
