If you have an newer xB it should be a 90 amp alternator.

If you have an early one, prolly like me, it was supposed to be a 70 amp.

Thanks for the relpy. I have a 2006.5 so I beleive I have a 90 amp. I'm not planning on exploiting the alt's capabilities or anything I just like to learn everything I can about my vehicle. So far, this site has been the best source of tid bits just like this.

Troy,

You should have the 90 amp alternator.

I blew my amp and alternator letting my xB idle at shows while running my ICE.

90 amps. That's good to know. I bet it was a pain to remove your gear and replace the Alt. Speaking of I.C.E..... are you British? I lived in England for 2 years and used to hear that term referring to In Car Electronics.

you could take it to a shop that does them and have them boost it up some i am sure they don't make a bigger one for the xb...

Wow. That's pretty pricey. I've heard of some shops out there that can Beef you stock Alt up for a reasonable amount of money. CCheck your local area and see what's available.
