Welcome to the forum. I think yours came with P/N 10295859 which is a 105A unit. But, you may want to send a PM to Chevrolet Customer Service.

DIY is what this site is about. It is why people come here. You can even run his vin to tell what alt is factory installed? Thats BS. Seems like only objective is to drum up business for dealers
