You'll need to check one of the following to determine the alternator amperage:
* The alternator itself: The amperage is usually stamped on the alternator's casing.
* Your van's owner's manual: This might list the specifications for the original alternator.
* A parts store's website: Use your van's VIN or engine details to look up the correct alternator and its specifications.
* Your vehicle's electrical system diagram: This will show the alternator and its capacity.
Expect the alternator to be somewhere in the range of 80-140 amps, but it could be higher or lower depending on the factors mentioned above. A higher amperage is typical if the van came with many power options from the factory.
