I have a 2000 TLC with a bad alternator. Ordered an alternator online but after reading through this forum discovered that the early 100's came with either an 80 or a 100 amp alternator. (And of course I ordered the 80 amp!) Without removing how can I tell which one I have? (Cannot see any part number on mine.)
This weekend I was planning on replacing the timing belt, water pump, hoses, belts, etc. while replacing the alternator but now that I may have purchased the wrong alternator I'm curious if I could use the 80 amp instead of the 100 amp.
I'd really hate to postpone this weekends project if my TLC has the 100 amp version... And paying more than $400 to get one from Toyota is an equally painful thought.
