On our trip across the country I purchased a replacement alternator for my Cummins 6CTA 450. I just got around to swapping it out recently. Looking closely at the original Delco Remy (PN 4003445) it's a 130 amp alternator. The one that I was sold as a replacement (Wai 8560N) is a 160 amp version.
It seems to be working great since the install. I was intending to get the Delco Remy rebuilt and replace the port side alt with the rebuild (just to get them both "new" at the same time) and then rebuild that port one as a spare.
So:
Thanks,

So:
- Is having a 160 amp version as a replacement a problem?
- If not, should I replace the port with a 160 amp version so that they match?
- Is there something in the rebuild process that could convert it to 160?
Thanks,
