Thanks guys. Based on the measurements mine was a 130 amp. Got a new one at Advance Auto for $151.50 including tax. Took about 3 hours to put in including time to get all my tools needed out of the shop building, hooking up a big fan to keep me cool, waiting out a 15 minute rain delay, then putting everything away. Moving some parts under the hood out of the way didn't take long. But the tensioner took longer than I expected because the 1/2" breaker bar I was going to use couldn't be put in the square hole due the metal fan blades in the way. So I improvised. I used a short 1/2" stubby rachet that I could insert in the hole. Then I got a deep socket that would fit over the handle, attached several extensions to get it up high enough to grab and it worked. The alternator was tight getting out but I finally got it out. Install took considerably less time. I was charging the battery (it was a brand new one) as I was doing my work so it would have a full charge. Cranked it up and took the truck back to Advance Auto to take the core and have them retest everything. Everything checked out so I'm happy. Sore from bending over the front of the truck but still happy.
