10 amps. What it actually means is the alternator has more reserve so it gives cleaner power, less spikes. You should be able to use the 100 amp versions from the 2002+ ES300/330 but not 100% sure on that. The connector is the same maybe the mounting is different?

I think I am going to go with the upgrade. Just have to park it and use my wife's ride until it comes in.

I put a 130amp from that seller in my ES no issues. Technically I should upgrade the wiring but I don't have anything in the car that draws very high wattage. The 90amp will work for sure, for the price why not get extra power? I like that they use original Denso cores.
The 100 amp I can't say for sure if the mounting is the same, I think it is but that's not good enough.

Alternator replaced. Anyone ever broke the tensioner bolt while tightening up the belt? Happened to me.
Going to see if I can get a replacement from Napa unless this is a dealer item. Hoping I get the other half of it out of the part it screws into.

Thank you! Another question: the wiring harness that clips to the alternator broke apart some. The clip part broke when I was removing. That seems more complicated to repair. I think it will connect and hold.

Usually too loose but not always, belt could be worn out/glazed. Why not put a new one on to go with your shiny alternator. Naturally make sure the pulleys are clean a few shots of brake cleaner will do it.
Oh on the clip that broke it is not hard to replace it is taped on, you can get a new one if you're really picky. Unless you mean the large connector.
