***Problem solved***

Ok, so here's the deal. I bought an alternator on here from CamDJClimited. I had the stock 95 amp alternator (I'm pretty sure that's what it was since I have the V6). He sold me a Remy Delco one rated at 135amp. He claimed it was completely plug and play. Install went fine except one problem, it seemed to be missing a plug. The middle plug isn't there. It has the other two, but not the middle one (the single prong plug). I just thought it'd be fine not to have it and left it alone, but now truck sounds like the less than two week old battery is dying. What does this plug do? Anything to do to fix it, or just reinstall my old one and ask him to take it back? I'm stressing out cause I have class again tomorrow and don't want to get stranded needing a jump.

Hate to break it to ya, but I'm pretty sure stock is 130

I had read somewhere that the V8's got a 130amp stock, but the V6 only got a 95amp one?
 






Don't see anything missing in that pic though? If you're worried about it not working, go back to stock and make this one work when you got the time
 






Either way, that's not the issue, the issue is that it's not working properly :(

The picture is of the stock one.
 












I just looked up some stuff, and this one I have seems to be a "4G" alternator, rather than a "3G" like mine is supposed to have. Which explains the missing plug. Alright, I think I figured out my issue.
This site has both 3G and 4G ones on it. The one I bought looks like a 4G rather than a 3G.
