im assuming its the 4.0L OHV engine? if so, its a 95A alt. same as on my explorer with the same engine.
biggest i have found is ~220 cold (both mean green and H-O alts make them)
i WANT to say ive found a 240 from iraggi, but i dont remember, so i wont say it lol. and i know motor city reman sells a 250a but i will never reccomend them as my buddy tried their alts out for his explorer and it was nothing but idle charging problems. even tried two different motor city reman alts. switched up to a mean green (like i suggested in the first place) and all problems went away. i also run a mean green on my 4.0L v6 OHV explorer. puts out 200 hot amps.
edit: im assuming its a 3g alt? if so, everything that i posted above will probably still apply, due to it being a standard ford casing, regardless of the actual engine.

i know that one of the guys in the mean green thread over at ca.com said you can get 200A units from junkyards for cheap, that were for police, emergency, etc uses. he claims they are all 3g alts.
i dont know the validity of the statement though. just throwing it out there, if you want to try saving a bit of money and pick up one of those.

i believe the 5.0L v8's are the only ones that have the 130A. my buddies explorer is a v8 with the 130A unit. its it a 4g unit instead of the 3g however.
