How can I tell? 95 5.8L

I don't get stuck. I just lose traction and stop moving!

Just get the best one. They are internally regulated so you don't have to worry about overcharging, and you will have plenty of power for anything you might add on.

Well, actually I'm not replacing the alternator. I'm replacing tensioner & idler pulleys. There's two different tensioner pulleys depending on alt. size I guess.

The only reason why you get a 60 amp alternator is you can't afford a 200 amp version

A 95 5.8l should have come with a 95amp from factory not a 60amp. Just take the old pulleys in and match them up.

I'm going to pick them up after work tomorrow. The wife has to drive it in to work tonight so I can't take them with me. I took pictures and measurements though.
