How many?

Just got my 2016 and was wondering if it has 2 turbos or one?
Does it have 2 alternators?


My 2008 had 2 of both.

2011-2014 6.7L diesel engines are equipped with a Garrett/Honeywell GT32 sequential turbocharger. They are essentially two turbos in a single package. The smaller turbo feeds the larger one. The 2015-2017 6.7L engines use a single Garrett/Honeywell GT37 variable geometry turbocharger. It's a single 88mm unit with vanes or fins that adjust to alter the flow of air to mimic a smaller turbocharger when power is needed quickly. You have two options for alternators I believe. One is a single heavy duty alternator (most common) and the second is dual alternators.

Hope that helps.

Wasn't there also a single regular duty 157 amp alternator that was the base standard alternator, as well as a single Heavy duty 200 amp alternator.

The Dual which was the combined 157 amp and the 200 amp for a total of 357 amp.

You got the heavy duty alternator if you got the Rapid Heat option.

Not terribly important to the OP since he is asking about a '16, but the turbos on the 11-14 are not actually sequential as they were on the 6.4 PSD. It uses siamese compressor wheels to allow use of smaller wheels for faster spool up. There were some advantages and disadvantages to this design, but the '15+ turbos seem to have addressed several of the issues associated with the siamese used before.

Three alternator options, regular, HD, and Dual. Some options require at least the HD. I like my duals with the rapid supplemental heat option. Hopefully it puts less stress on them and the batteries.

'17's they added dual heavy duty as an option as apparently even duals with a regular and HD alternator were not powerful enough.

Yup I have rapid heat.

I've never seen a diesel truck without the heavy duty or dual alternator options. I'm not saying they don't exist, but I haven't seen one and therefore didn't think to mention that. Now that I think about it, the build configurator on the website does let you build the truck that way.

Spamfritter - Honestly, I can't imagine anyone wanting the regular, single, Alternator on one of these trucks... Maybe a fleet XL trim truck with no options and one that will never tow anything and being ordered from a company (or government agency) that pinches every penny.
