My belt was making nosie which a shop said was bad alternator. My Tahoe had 70 amp from factory. Suspect alterntor was not the problem, only the belt, and I think they might have replaced original with lower capacity. How can I tell what is now installed?

It would help us to know what year, make, model, and engine you're driving. 70A seems kind of low for OE, and replacing with even lower is likely impossible.
Post a pic of your RPO codes from the glovebox. The OE alternator code is one of those and members here can decipher them.
Also post a pic of the current (pun intended) alternator; sometimes the amp rating is etched into the alternator housing.
