160 amp alternator stock?

[DBond]

I looked at several 05 heavy duty Rams, Cummins with and without the snow prep package, and a Hemi. All the alternators looked the same to me and all had a large 136A on the back, that makes me think they are all 136 Amp alternators.



I had heard that all the Cummins come with the 160A alternator, is this true?

All Cummins powered truck have a 136A alternator. Many people belive the DC literature that says the plow prep package will upgrade you to a 160A alternator but this is only be true with the Hemi powered trucks. The way I see it, the only definite option you get with a plow prepped Cummins is a skid plate and possibly different front springs.

Thanks for the clarification Rosco. You saved me from ordering a non option.



I think it is a shame Dodge doesn't offer the 160A option, considering the dual batteries and trailer load potential.

Rosco is right on in what he said.
