2005 F150 5.4 130 Amp Alternator..
So whats up with Ford saying 130 Amp Alternator on my Window Sticker and now that i'm looking into getting a H. O. for a better low RPM power curve on output...
I have found out my truck has a 110 amp factory alternator on it, I'm the only owner and I have the window sticker that states plain as day 130 amp.
Called ford dealer and they ran the vin, came back to a 110 amp also, they said they have no idea why the sticker says 130 amp.. they also said ford don't even make a 130 amp
Any body else ran into this or I'm I the first to find out??
Can some of you ford dealer guys answer this one??

Well, got back from the Ford dealer and they are going to call Ford to see whats the deal, but the guy in parts showed me on the computer it only 1 alternator avalible for 2005 F150 5.4 and it a 110 amp, went out and looked at the new trucks on the lot , they all say 110 amp not 130... so I don't know whats the deal....
you can now run your vin on Motorcraft site and get as built data for your truck, it also says mind is a 110 amp too...

if you want a HO alternator
buy one from excessive amperage
http://www.excessiveamperage.com/
i have one and someone else on here has a alt from them
it has been really reliable and i have not had one bit of trouble

Aftermarket alternators generally are pretty good... I recommend a place called http://www.mralternator.com/ ... I had one in my '99 F150 with sub... because I didn't want a capacitor setup.
Pretty much any aftermarket H.O. alternator is good... but some of them are pretty cheap... cheaper than the O.E.M. alternator.

I was looking into having my factory alternator rebuilt to a 200 amp H.O. by a alternator builder out of state, I could'nt find any numbers on it so I sent him some pics, thats when I found out I don't have a 130, he said it a 136mm 105/110 amp G6 Small Case and is'nt worth messing with for a H.O. build
he said only the 149mm 115/135 amp G6 Large Case is built for H.O. use...

my question to the dealer was:
I just want to know why the window sticker states 130 amp on a 110 amp factory installed alternator... I want my other 20 amps I paid for...
