My alternator on my 97 Tahoe 5.7l is almost 20 years old with 180,000 miles on it. While it continues to charge, it is getting noisy which I am attributing to age and wear and tear. When the original was replaced under warranty in 2000 with only 41,000 miles on it, the GM dealer's paperwork indicated it was replaced with part #10463651 which is now an obsolete GM part #.
Can anyone help me determine what the amp rating on this replacement alternator was back in 2000 as I want to make sure I maintain that amp rating when I install a new one. The RPO code in the glove compartment says K60 which I believe indicates 100 amp but that was the original factory one, not necessarily what the GM dealer replaced it with 180,000 miles ago.
If anyone has a suggestion for a high quality replacement alternator that has at least the amps part #10463651 had, please forward that on.
Thanks!
