Here's the info on the belt from GMPartsDirect.com:
Part: 12576451
Unit Price: $27.23
SHIPPING: $7.95
TAX: $0.00
TOTAL WITH TAXES: $35.18
Unfortunately, I'm gonna be away this weekend, so I won't get a chance to work on the truck if the alternator arrives...leaving Thursday night. (unless of course the alternator shows up tomorrow...then that's a whole new story
)

Guess what...It works!!! (did it tonight after work) Piece of cake, bolts right in...hardest part was running the serpentine belt with a fresh tattoo on my right wrist and forearm...it's still pretty sensitive. You just need the longer belt GM part#12576451 Wahoo!

The main advantage for most is that it is a higher amp rated alternator, which will allow you to add more electrical accessories without causing a drain that your electrical system can't handle (sound system, electric fans, etc.)

While doing this upgrade, upgrade the wire from the Alt to the terminal with at least a 4ga wire. Also add another ground of equal size from the (-) terminal to a good ground.
That alone will make a big difference in the output.
