Parts run --HO Alternator
Making a run to u pull it on Mon or Tues...I need to find a High Output Alt for my 98 4.3 Blazer.
Can anyone tell me what yr and model have the alt that I should be looking for? |
Look for an ad244 out of chevy trucks. 145 amp, you will need a 1 inch longer belt. Do yourself a favor and get a gatorback belt. no squealing
|
Newguy....thnx for the info...any idea on what range Years to look for? late 90s and up? And I will check into that belt you suggested.

mine was out of a silverado, dont know year
|
98~06 5.3 or 6.0
can usually find the 145 amps in Tahoes and Suburbans (fully loaded, has a few more electronics than a pickup), Escalades may share them too mine came out of an 02 Tahoe |
got my list...headed out now.....60 miles each way...thunderstorms this morn....mid 90s this afternoon....gotta love Nebraska weather. thnx for the info you guys! much appreciated.
|
At yard now...99 tahoe...not marked with numbers like i had hoped...could be 100, 124 or 140 . how to tell?
|
got any part numbers on it? i can google em etc.
|
Cant see any...out at car getting tools to go do that...thnx
|
Got tools out of my car came back out to pull it to see if I can get any numbers off of it and it's a torrential downpour I'm hiding in some kind of a minivan at the moment
|
That will teach me...didnt bring coat...did stop at walmart and bought cheap umbrella
|
look for the RPO codes sticker on the inside of the glove box, skip to the "K" codes:
K68 = 105AMP KG7 = 125AMP KG8 = 130AMP KG3 = 145AMP KW1 = 160AMP (never personally seen one of those myself...) |
And now hail...gotta laugh
|
Glove box ...interior gone..thought of that...no joy

KG9 is a code for a 140 amp generator... interesting...
|
It stopped raining enough for me to get back under the hood and try and pull this thing up the rest of the way I've got three of the bolts out already
|
shoot I just seen your looking at a 99 tahoe, those are square body with a 5.7l... you need to be looking at the next gen body style sir...
|
It's a Duralast reman 140 amp

the belt drive setup between the 4.3 and 5.7 is the same, it should still bolt up. double check the connector first before removing your old one
|
still believe you will need an inch longer belt

So maybe I'll be ok with this one? with $5 core it was $30.85 total. |
After reading youre posts...maybe 2day will be a good day after all!!
|
It's gonna work!!
Set both alternators side by side...measured all mounting points and no problem...only difference besides size is the plug has slightly different angle/orientation which will not be a problem. I'm very happy. Gonna stab motor & tranny back in on my weekend (Mon/Tues). In process of installing what I can and just generally getting ready.
TO EVERYONE THAT OFFERED ADVICE/HELP/INFORMATION I TRULY APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS AND THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH! |
