AD class? I don't think so... Those pictures do look right, but you can't be sure from the general look of things. I'm pretty sure that 99+ GAs with the 3400 would have used a CS130-D...

So your link on that alternatorparts.com page should be:
http://www.alternatorparts.com/cs130_&_cs130d_alt.htm
instead. I didn't look at the other page, but the same thing there.

I am so confused right now LOL, i tired looking up the number and from what i can tell the 99-02 are the same then 03 is in its own class and then 04-05 but i might be wrong, does anyone know, well i am going to head over to the dealer friday and find out, but if any ones knows please feel free to let me know thanks alot for the help guys

haha no that just confirms the confusion.

from what ive read, it is the same alternator, but the plug is in a slightly different location. people claim they have been able to use the 99-02 ones without any issues. i see this discussion in regards to the strut tower brace since it only fits from 99-02 and wont fit newer years because of the plug on the alternator. people were switching to the 99-02 style alternator to fit the STBs. i havnt done this so this is my observation, but good luck.

haha, looks like no one knows for sure, i talked to the dealer and even he couldnt give me a for sure, so it looks like i am going to chance it and see what happens. so if anyone finds out for sure let me cuz i am going to order one next friday!

I do not know if anyone in your area does it. We have a guy here in town, that does custom work, and can build a stouter alternator, I would guess the unit would have to be able to take an upgrade, do not know if ours are or not, just food for thought.

^^^ Yeah, I was about to say that they should be able to get their Alternators rewound, but I don't think it'll go up to 200+amps.
