I have the plow prep package w/ the 200 amp alt. Stiil running with original batteries too. Truck is my daily daily driver. Approx 80 miles per day (73,500miles). Been driving it since july 2007. Maybe just lucky so far. I think there are a lot of variables that exist between those who are eating batteries and those that still have originals. When they do finally die, I'll probably get some Optima's (red or yellow top).
Not 100% sure about the clutch fan but I beleive it is designed to draw more air since a blade in front of the truck would block more.
I think it is beefed up to run more when needed...the life of it.

My batteries have died twice in the last month so I am getting ready to take it in. If I am still in the 3/36 do they replace them free or do they prorate them?
Does fine when I drive it every day but if I let it sit 5-6 days they go low or die.

I honestly think there is a pro-rated warranty after the first year of ownership.
Took mine in yesterday. Dealer says its my aftermarket reverse lights that are draining the battery. Well they have been on there for over 2 years but this problem just started in the last 30 days. second, if the lights arent ON then how is it draining the battery. Of course they couldnt answer that and then said I had to pay a diagnostic fee because the problem was related to aftermarket parts and Ford wont cover the diagnostics. I brought up that lots of people are having battery issues and they said nope, I was the first, no known issues for batteries. So the walk away was that I made them disconnent the reverse lights and put it in writing that if the batteries die again that they will refund my diagnostic charge.

How do you have the lights connected? By an upfitter switch?
