145 amp alternator w/ Procharger on 5.3L?
Hey guys, have any of you installed the 145 amp (p/n 10464476) on your ProCharged 5.3L?
There has been mentioned the need for a different belt, of course ours is different already, so I was wondering if any of you have done this upgrade and if so, what new belt are you using to allow for the difference in size?
Also, if there are any other issues to be concerned with, please speak up...
It's already so tight in that area...see thread about having no access to power steering fluid...
Thanks in advance.

I don't know the belt size or the actual difference, but I swapped alternators on my otherwise stock pulley system.... my suggestion is to take the part number for the trucks with the 105 amp and the 145 amp and find the difference in legnth (about 1/2"), then take your current procharger belt and add that to it's size and you should be fine.
