I need to replace my alternator in my 02 TA.

A friend was going to install it for me and suggested that I get the ACDelco 334-2529 truck alternator, but he completely sold me out and now I'm stuck, because I sure as heck, don't know anything about the truck alternator mod.

Is there anything done different, when using the truck alternator, or is everything the same?

This is the alternator I bought

 

That's the low output truck alt... ???

 

It should bolt right up but the pulley may be farther away than an ls1 alternator requiring a belt about an inch longer.

 

you may have to bend the PS lines a bit....longer belt maybe.....not hard at all

maybe our resident truck alt guru......pooter.....will chime in

 

Low, as opposed to what? It's the 145a version.

 

Isn't this the one that everyone suggests?

 

ur best bet is an eBay 4 pin used alt. pooter said he always had bad luck with 99.9 percent if not 100 percent of the remans regardless of brand.

calling it a truck alt mod doesn't make any sense to me since ur not modding anything, ur literally removing the alt and putting the truck one in. done on 2 different cars, it just fits more snug and didn't require a new belt

 

yes 145 amp

 

I bought the 335-1092 see here: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...67826&jsn=1794

I can confirm this was plug and play for my 2000 camaro. The 335-1092 is for the escalades that were 2002 and earlier.

The 334-2529A is for trucks that are newer than 2003. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...17150&jsn=1790

They appear to both be 4 pin and 145 amp.The only difference is the location of the plug which appear to be at a different clocked location. I don't see why yours wouldnt work. Pooter's thread notes to use the 2003-2004 They both are of the AD244 family.

Here is pooter's old thread

Good luck, let me know if you have any other questions

 

Ive been a fan of DB Alternators. Good prices and the quality seems good and they come in all sorts of outputs.
