Alternator Amperage

Alternator Amperage
I have to replace the alternator in my 96 GLE. I replaced it once long ago, and now the bearing is going. This is a non California car.
Does anyone know what the stock amperage is supposed to be?
Also the RockAuto site shows two different mounts for the alternator, does anyone know what the mount looks like?
Thanks,
Phil

I too am in the market for an alternator as mine died. I gather that the stock amps is 110 amps. I checked out RockAuto and the alternator is $149.99 and up. For $10 more, you can get one at Autozone or Advance Auto and get lifetime replacement warranty on the alternator.

Have an Autozone Alternator
I have an Autozone alternator that had to be special ordered after two off the shelf failed to pass an Alternator test. So I have the warranty on this one, but it isn't so great having a warranty when you get replacements that aren't rebuilt well. I guess I will pick up an Autozone one so I can get my money back, but I will have them test it at the store to make sure it passes an output test.

Anyway, all 4th Gen Max alternators mount exactly the same way. Only the output ratings should differ. The mounting - no difference.
