    You bet your sweet ass. I have the tow package since I’m so fancy. I made sure it was 130a.

    As others have said, just stay away from the AutoZone alternators.

    A few years ago, I was putting a new alternator in my daughter's Chevy Malibu. I sent my wife to AZ to pick up a new one. I installed it, and it was dead on arrival. I went back to AZ, they tested it, and agreed it was no good. They gave me another one. I walked out to my truck, and then thought "I better have them test this one before I install it." Went back inside, had them test the one they had just given me. Sure enough, it was bad too. I told them just to give me my money back. I went down the road and got one from someplace else.

    That part number is for 130a. We'll see what they actually send me. Would not surprise me if they used a stock photo that isn't quite correct.

    Dang, I ordered the re-manufactured Denso from WalMart yesterday and it's being delivered via FedEx today. I probably could have gotten it for less than $200 if I was willing to turn in my old one as a core, but I'd prefer to hang onto it so I can get it rebuilt if needed in the future. That's probably dumb from a money perspective, but that's what I want to do. At the very least I can take a shot at rebuilding it myself and maybe learn something.

    i'm going to core mine, but I wonder if it can even be rebuilt. When it died, it was so bad that I grabbed a fire extinguisher and kept it nearby for an hour. That is how hot the damn thing was.

    My core is still working fine, it’s just got 150K on it and is nearly 10 years old. Certainly a good candidate for a rebuild, I hope!

    good question. I was curious, so I just called. $440 plus a core charge, for the same alternator, and it is reman'd. Don't buy from a dealer!

    i honestly don't think you can get one new. Everywhere I have looked they are remans. I wonder if they put remans in the brand new trucks as well? All I can say is the reman I received from rockauto "LOOKS" brand new.

    Mine “looks” new as well. They did a nice job cleaning the outer case. I wonder if the bearings have been replaced?
