    130 amp should be a direct swap with the 80 amp that is there. All connections and mounts are the same, so I'm really hoping there's no belt alignment issue.

    for mine it was the sleeve on the alternator that the bolt passed through. was about 1/8-1/4 inch shorter than stock. The pulley was the same diameter though so the belt was same size. I did a gm cs130 alternator and also needed a new pigtail adapter. But maybe that's a first gen thing. can't say for sure on yours.

    Mine should be a direct replacement as they came with 80amps for non tow package and 130amps with tow package. Hoping.

    Good deal. Not that it was difficult by any means to make it work, but a direct 1 for 1 swap is always a plus! :fingerscrossed:

    Got the new Alternator and Starter installed this past Sunday. Old alternator was putting out 4-5 amps. I'm gonna put the amp clamp on the new one and check its output. All in all, it's an upgrade from the 100amp alternator now at 130amps. Pro tip, once the alternator is torqued to spec, make sure the pulley turns. Had an issue where the slide nut didn't slide and bound the alternator up to where it wouldn't turn. So removed and jammed some antiseize in the slide nut and cycled it a few times, good to go now.

    Yup, but I feel the need to upgrade the fuse block to battery wire as it's a little thin.

    Yo Tex, I saw your post about preferring BAMF's HD Shackle mount over the ATO Shackle Flip. Can you elaborate on why? I've got the same rear setup as you, albeit with APExpo leafs instead of your Dakars, and different shocks of course. Thanks in advance
