For those looking to power auxillary items such as electric fans ('05 upgrade fans, H/E fans, etc.), as well as minor stereo upgrades, this is a nice piece of insurance.

This is a brand-spankin' new Bosch unit, not a rebuild (like the 145A alternators you pay the same price for, with an additional $90 core ).

Enjoy!
very nice, is the connection the same or different?

It's exactly the same, only it's different.





Actually, I don't know yet, haven't even tried to match it up. I think I'll end up doing the Big 3 upgrade at the same time.

it's not online, just a local dealership, although, I can't remember which one or the guys name. Good find for sure.

Does anyone happen to know if the wire off the back of the alternator to the battery junction block actually does serve as a fuse link, or is it safe to replace it with a quality 4 guage?

Guys, it's no mystery....someone already provided a link to the 'certain online dealer' in this thread, though it is not working correctly...

And as far as which local shop...I bet that most GM dealers would be willing to make some $$$ vs. zero $$$...it's worth a shot anyway, developing a relationship with your local GM shop....the parts and service guys all seem to be good folks.
