Alternator amperage
I have a 2000 with a 5.3L, how many amps is my alternator?
My sisters truck was crashed and totaled, it is a 2003 4.8L and 4x4 would that alternator be more amps than mine??
Thank You.

it should be stamped on the case of the alt. you will have to look pretty hard. its like someone took a punch and tapped it into the case.
most light duty as yellowls1truck has stated already are 105A

Yes
No
You'll need a longer belt. I can check my truck later today if you need me too...it's raining now and I'm at work. It's the 6.0 w/ large alt belt that you need.
