Date: February 03, 2004

INFORMATION

Subject:
Incorrect Amp Code On Generator

Models:
2003-2004 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT
2003-2004 Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe

The purpose of this bulletin is to inform the technician of an incorrect Amp code stamped on the generator. The code on the side of the generator reads 130 A and it should read 145 A. The 130 A has been stamped on the generators in error and does not indicate the actual amperage of the generator. A 130 A generator is not produced for this vehicle. The correct replacement for the above vehicles is the generator with the 145 A marking.
