'03 Alt question

[Porky]

If I have a stock 2003 Tahoe I should have (select one):
A. 105 amp alternator
B. 145 amp alternator
C. Other
Thanks for helping. I am grabbing a few parts (including serpentine belt) to throw in back of the Tahoe for vacation...which starts SUNDAY!

hard to tell honestly, it should have the part number stamped on the alt, but it is either a or b

Check the RPO codes. If I'm not mistaken, these are the codes for the 105 and 145 amp alts in our trucks:
K68 - 105 AMP ALTERNATOR
KG3 - 145 AMP ALTERNATOR

Thanks again...over lunch I also found out from NAPA that a person can tell from the last 8 digits of your VIN. It should be either 105 amp or 130 amp according to them.

 

[blueflamed03]

if you plan to get one anyway, get the bigger voltage one

I would put money on the 105....

According to the VIN and Napa as well as verification by the local Chevy dealer; I have a 145 amp generator. Thanks again everyone!
