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...

Oh I'm afraid to ask this next question. Does that mean the alt. i just bought isn't going to work?

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

From reading posts about this b4 i left I knew to check and see what mine was...it is 4 wire plug....this one also has 4 wire plug. Did stop at AZ right after leaving the yard and it did test out green all the way. Had other plans with wife last night....didnt get to even go in garage other than to put tools and part away. she took my lock key away....she knows me 2 well....lol.

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!
