Default Altenator buy

As I posted yesterday my alternator seems to need replacing. All the part supply stores (commercial account) that I use were closed today so first thing tomorrow I'll be purchasing one. Should I go with the 80 amp...I believe that's the correct amperage or maybe go higher? If B what amp number should I go with and maybe even brand? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Denso will be the best IMO, even if you have to get a reman. That being said, I asked about this on Toyota Nation when I was thinking of upgrading my '01, and I went with a 130-amp model from a Highlander or RX, IIRC. Did not upgrade my big three (stock sound system).

I think you're right, 80-amp is standard. A lot of aftermarket ones claim 90-amp, and the Denso reman is 90 as well I think. Last one I installed was a new TYC, which came with a test readout showing it putting out 93 amps.
