well deepdoc, there have been some 6.0s run away. the ones i have read about have been due to alot of oil ingestion in the cac from a turbo seal or excessive idle time and the ccv system geeting clogged due to bad servise rates. i have heard it is rather interesting.
What MY did they start putting 110A alternators in? As far as I know the stock alternators are 130A in '04's. And given that the dual-alternator set-up is still being rated at 260A, I'm guessing the stock, non-extra heavy duty alternators are 130A.

Just talked to my dealer, he said if I don't have snowplow option, it's a 110A. Like bowtiehatr said, the largest oem I can replace it with is 140A for $267 + $75 core charge + $87 (1 hr) install. Hmmm - $429 is getting up there, but if I wanna play, I gotta pay.
Actually, what I'm more interested in learning is when (MY or particular production date)the change occurred. But you do bring up another question. How many different alternators (in terms of rated Amps) is Ford now offering on SD's? And with what package would they come with? All this helps when trying to answer someones question about whether or not their alternator can handle the load of some piece(s) of equipment they're installing . Knowledge is power.
Ah crap! So the specs that Ford publishes in their Body Builders Guides are wrong? I'm getting everything from 95A for a 2000 F-350 w/a 7.3 to 130A for 2001-2004 F-350's.
<HR style="COLOR: #666666" SIZE=1>On '06 models there are 2 options for High Idle. Note belowThis is the easy step-by-step instructions to set up your '05 or '06 Super Duty to have a high idle option. This is for diesel trucks with the factory auxiliary upfitter switches. This procedure replaces the need in the older trucks to buy an AIC (Auxiliary Idle Control) module from Ford.
