Alternator

I want to upgrade the alternator on my '00 Suburban 2500 by installing a newer, higher output model. Anyone know what will just bolt on with no wiring modifications? I plan on picking one up from a salvage yard. Appreciate any help.

I have a very limited experience with alternators, but I have replaced a few. As far as I know, you just purchase a larger out-put alternator and it goes in the same way as the old one did, same wires and hookups and everything.

plug and play.
00 should be a 4pin. i currently have a 300 amp alt with 3 more 300amp alts on a custom bracket that are about to go along with it in a few weeks

I'm looking for a later model OEM part that will be plug and play. I don't know what years would be interchangeable.

Changing the alternator might also mean changing the belt. Something to think about.

^^ good thing to do just incase and they dont cost an arm and a leg
00 to 05 are 4 pin.. there are some 05s that are the 2 pin alt connector.
