The cs130 alt are smaller and they do not get rid of as much heat as the CS144. The cs130 much hard to repairs( take longer to repairs on a cs130, then a the CS144)
and the cs130's are know for bears going bad on the rear.

The CS144 have much better cooling more AMP selection can be taken apart easier then cs130.
The two draw backs are the CS144 Alt is bigger then the big SI 70-80 Caddy Alt.
And the CS144 weight is heavy of all SI-CS Alt.
CS144 is made more like the SI style for the most part witch makes it except for the in proved cooling better charging at low idle. And can be easy to add to most trucks set ups.
