does anyone know the stock amp rating for a 2000 v10 alernator? i've looked in the tech file... & tried a search, no luck. also are there any upgrades?

 

used to that it would be stamped on the alternators...some would have it on a label too.

 

I believe it is going to be 130

 

There are 2 choices either 95 amp or 115 amp.
See Ed for one; www.partsguyed.com

thanks guys. i'll make a long story short. i just had a local guy rebuild me one. afterwards he said he supplied me with a 95 amp one. after i installed it i heard a little whine coming from it. the rebuilder said no problem bring it back and i'll give you another. i'm not sure what my original one was but i'm going to ask him to replace this one with a 155 amp one.

 

Thanks for the link to the alternator, when mine goes I will replace it with one of those.

 

Glad to help! I plan to replace mine with the Mechman alternator.
