Al those "options" cost more after truck is on the lot. Price a tailgate with the step!!! When I ordered my '19 I ordered everything I thought I may use. Much cheaper when truck is being built than after its delivered to u.

That is lame, I missed it also. I did get the super, super 240amp alternator or whatever Ford calls it.

I almost missed it, can't believe Ford still refers to it as "Medium Duty Battery!" What is wrong with "Dual Battery?"

I have been told its an Hc3z -14300-C not the D listed above.
Is the Hc3z -14300-C cable just the positive cable from battery to battery ? or does it also go to the alternator?

I ordered the Hc3z -14300-C cable to install dual batteries. but it has been on back order for over a month. So my plan is to make up my own cables for the second battery. Can any one confirm the the wire size used in the factory cables? from what I see in the manual it is 2ga.

Thanks
Tom

I don't. Ended up trading in the F350 DRW and never got around to installing a second battery. Let us know how it goes if you complete it?

Battery is in and cables run to rear bumper for trailer mounted winch. Going to call on Monday. if I am not going to receive the factory cable by Friday. Then I am going to run my own battery to battery.

Nice! Did you buy the factory shelf and bracket for the second battery? How was the process of moving the windshield washer fluid reservoir or did you have to buy a new one of those?

The windshield washer reservoir does not move or need to be replaced.

one more part you might need. My truck had the vacuum line shown on the right with the 90 deg valve connector. So when I mounted the valve on the back side of the expansion tank the lines went toward the tank and had a sharp bend. With the part on the left ( BCSZ7A784A $20.36) the lines come straight off the valve and run parallel to the tank
