Looking to upgrade my cs130d to an ad244 in my 98 S-10.
The lowest-end version (130A) is a huge jump over the current unit, so I'm not really concerned with getting max output... I'm concerned with getting the best model.
Some claim the regulator is "better" on the 145A version, but it's not clear why other than a bigger heat sink on it.
But I've also read that the Delphi version is what people want, nor the DR44 variant. Thing is, I'm. It really clear why.
Is there such a thing as a 145A alternator in a Delphi case?
Apparently the rectifiers are different on some, with more copper components and better corrosion protection.
Is there such a thing as a Delphi-case with 145A internals? Or did Delphi only produce 130A alternators? Are the four-pin DR44 alternators functionally the same as the Delphi-cased alternator?
Thanks!!
