160 Amp Alt Installed?

[R Gage]

I ordered a 160 Amp alt with my 2011 Silverado with the 6.0. The window sticker said 125 amp alt,but I ordered a 160 amp and paid for it,how do I tell if it is a 160amp? Sales person said it is 160 amp.I just don't trust Him. Thanks for any input

The window sticker should show a 125 amp alt. delete and a 160 amp. alt. added. It should also show up on your list of RPO codes (used to be in the glove box, not sure about the new ones).

The window sticker will say 125amp on the left side under Standard Equipment. After the list of Standard Equipment you will find an heading that says Options and Pricing. There will be a list of the options that were ordered with the price of the option. Do you see the 160 Amp alternator listed there? You should see it there. It may be listed in a package, so make sure you are checking all the stuff that is listed.

Get the part number and have the parts department run it to see what it brings up. You could also take the part number to any of your local part stores and have them cross reference it over to one of their brands. It should cross over to 160 amp alt. If it is not on your order guide, I would go with option 1 of asking the GM dealer to run the part number. You could probably just google the part number as well to see what it comes up as.

Look on top of alternator. On back half of the alternator case you will see the amp rating. It should say 160A or what ever amp you have.

on my 2003 truck I swapped the factory 105 amp with a 165 amp (from an Escalade) and it was etched in to the casing. The belt will be a different part number also, the case is a little larger causing the pulley to be placed a tad further out.
