Alternator/Electrical

Just wondering, but what are our alternators rated at? How many amps?

I heard someone said the 03 manual is 105A which is the same as CL-P. Maybe Shawn S or someone can clarity this.

I know that the second gen TL's are 120, first gens are 105. I believe this to be true of the CL's as well...

Shouldn't this be in A&E?

Austin, you need to double check your source. According to the HELM manual,
CL-S: 120A
CL-P: 105A

According to this board, 03 CL-S 6spd: 105A
