Attention: TDR Forum Junkies I'll ask first: Does anyone make an adapter bracket for a dual alternator setup, have a dual alternator package or information as to this possibility?
The request: Please someone make one.
The only option?: I believe I've heard rumor that the new medium duty Dodge trucks (i. e. cab and frame) with the 6. 7L Cummins will finally address the option of having dual alternators as Ford has offered for many years and Chevy started offering 4 or so years ago I believe. Then there is the question if this will fit onto current 5. 9L engines and/or gen 1's or gen 2's.
Additional info: I have done exhaustive searches through forums and online companies, including custom application companies such as Kilby Enterprises (on-board air compressor systems), Premier Power (on-board welders) and the like for anything that might work or even be slightly modifiable to work... all with no luck. </< p> This is not the place to debate over a larger alternator option vs. the dual one I'm looking for. I'm well aware of many larger or custom high output alternator options, thank you though.
The only other option would be custom fabrication but I believe there is enough of a need to make it a "standard" piece of hardware. I've read so many places where guys have large power needs in camper applications or incredible off road vehicles w/ lights and winches, plow trucks etc. Their only option and often performed solution was to go to a single, high output alternator. Except there are problems with that solution such as longevity (most only last 2 yrs or so) and availability (custom) if it should fail. Dual alternators eliminates both of those problems and gives a total output greater than most of the single high output alternators for far less money (neighborhood of $150 vs. $650). There are many other positives to dual alternators also such as multiple wiring/charging setup options too.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!</< p>
