2006 LTV sprinter needs alternator

My battery indicator light came on and the code reader indicated it's the alternator. A vin search does not indicate what type of alternator was installed originally. They didn't have time to pull it today to see what amperage it needs. Does anyone know? Otherwise it will be a delay in ordering.

    Before spending over $750. for a new alternator, OR EVEN REBUILDING IT,have you tried a new voltage regulator package (for less than $50.)
    Any Merc. mechanics (outside the normal steeler) will tell you replacing the voltage regulator will fix 99% of alternator problems.

    If it's the regulator, try this link - http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairguides/Sprinter-2005-2007/Charging-System/Voltage-Regulator/_/P-0996b43f8075b7b5

    Doesn't appear to be very difficult.
