i went to a LKQ junkyard.....if you call them they have every part in their computer......ask for a 2003 chev truck with the KG3 option.....which makes it the 145 amp alt......you have to look and make sure its also a 4 pin alt......they also came in 2 pin......the 1st one they gave me was 2 pin.....lucky i noticed and swapped it out there at the yard

I might have to look into this.. But I want to try the simple things first before I do this.. What truck??

i think any truck with the 145amp alt option will work

I have a similar problem that started tonight, but my volt gauge actually goes up when I'm driving and bounces around 16V then when I let off the gas it drops down to about 12V then surges right back up to normal. Headlights and Interior lights flicker like crazy, I have suspected the alternator for a while or loose connection, could it be the Alternator going? and whats a good upgrade, I have heard of people using a truck alt as a replacement.

I think its BS, there are hundreds maybe even thousands of people with this problem and GM is not aware of it? GM should have addressed this issue like they did with the bubbling sail panel..

This is so frustrating..

So on Monday I'm going to check grounds.. If that doesn't fix my problem then the only other thing to try is a truck alt

My car has some wierd problems surfacing lately from bucking/hesitating when cruising and maintaining a speed. today it stopped starting. From last year when i bought the car my headlights and interior lights do flicker ever so slightly. its very very faint but I notice it. This is a very common problem it seems.

And I haven't made any progress on the car bc the weather here in IL has turned to shiit

as far as i know.........4th gen f bods never came with anything more than the 105 amp alt

That is correct.. But the other poster said that there was a TSB to replace the alt with a 145 amp one....

i dont think the CS130D ever was made higher than 105 amps............the AD244 came in both 105 and 145
