For that year truck they used a few different ones..

100 amp
105 amp
124 amp
140 amp

Depending how and who ordered it will decide on which one you have.. I have seen the same truck, with the same options come with the smallest or the biggest.. Do you have the RPO codes still in the glove box ? If so I might be able to tell you which one it is by that.. Or if you look on the alternator it self it should tell you the amps right on it :)
