I just recently purchased a 2000 Lariat 4 x 4 with the ORP and Trailer Towing Package. On my sticker I recieved a credit for the Heavy-duty Alternator. What is the output in amps of the heavy-duty model (which I do not have) and the standard output. I am looking to add some auxillary lighting soon.

 

The heavy-duty alternator puts out 130 amps. And you should have the heavy-duty alternator. The credit is because the heavy-duty alt. is part of multiple packages. When you added the tow package you were effectively being charged a second time for the heavy-duty alt., therefore Ford gave you a credit. So you do have the 130 amp alt.

Freezers right you have it. I saw that on a sticker recently and it confused me too. But I figured it out finaly with the help of (gulp) a salesman.

Hey.. what does the regular one put out?

I remember hearing something different regarding the HD alternator, that only one is available for the '98+ year F150's. I read it in an old digest, so don't hold me to it. I believe the rating is 110 amps.
