105 AMP is actually a GM generic amperage.....So this situation doesn't suprise me that he didn't here of one...almost all GM'* including my pick up have 105'* in them.....They didn't start making beefier alt'* until 01-02...but that'* pretty new for parts stores to be rememnbering sizes yet.,

[quote[ok the Advance listing for the heated windshield is incorrect. The SE never had a heated windshield option. Only the SSEi.[/quote]

I was being sarcastic

.

Just for the record, I run an 800CCA battery [less than 6 months old], and my lights don't dim with a 105amp alt [and a junkyard alt at that].
