Thanks for all the help.
Put on one that is the same as what you have now or the plugs will have to be changed as well. Valeo appears to be the one on the SRT. Check before committing to buy though. The rear face and the cooling slots are different on the Valeo and the Bosch. There is a thread somewhere that shows the difference.
See this thread for the SRT6 alternator, it is a Valeo. Make sure you get one with the correct 8 groove pulley. You can also have you old one rebuilt at some places. I do not know if some SRTs had Bosch alternators though, I think not but .........
