Fits the 6.6L Duramax in 2001-2007 Chevrolet and GMC HD trucks (LB7, LLY and LBZ) and the 1996-2004 GM gas trucks that share the same case and mount. This is a direct bolt-in upgrade over the factory unit — same mount, same pulley position, no bracket modification.
Diesel engines spend most of their working life at low RPM, and that is exactly where a stock alternator runs out of headroom. This unit holds 200+ amps at engine idle and delivers a full 370+ amps at cruising speed, hot rated — enough for a lift pump, auxiliary lighting, a winch, a plow, a welder or a competition-grade stereo without watching your voltage sag at every stoplight.
Engine codes covered: LB7, LLY, LBZ
Vehicles: Silverado Sierra 2500HD 3500HD, Suburban, Tahoe, Escalade
Installation Notes:
This unit comes equipped with a smaller 1.75 inch diameter alternator pulley, and will require a slightly shorter drive belt for proper belt tension. Not recommended for sustained use above 5,000 RPM engine speed.
Newly redesigned for 2020, The Elite series offers the highest possible amperage and durability available in a large case alternator. 6 phase technology combined with massive twin rectifier assemblies and 12 diodes makes these alternators totally durable for daily use, while still maintaining 200+ amps at engine idle speeds. Some models are available with adjustable voltage, ask a sales rep for more details.

This unit may require a rectangle to oval adapter harness if the vehicle is equipped with the HD charging option from the factory. (not common)
