it is probably equipped with a heavy duty or snow plow package. if i am not mistaken, the 2 alternators equal 220 or 230 amps.

It is not standard, it is a $380 option. They are more capable of handling the electrical requirements of add-ons like big stereos, aux lighting, winches, plows etc. Good choice!

As winged said this was a $380 option. The 2 alternators are as follows, Top alternator is a 6G 135A unit and the lower is a 4G 135A unit totaling 270A. A great option to have when you want to accessorize your rig.

Thank You Guys For The Info. I Knew I Could Get Answers Here. This Site Is Great! The Only Problem I See With Two Alts. Is An Extra Fan Belt. And From What Ive Heard Its Not Easy To Change Them, But I Should Be Ok For Quite Awhile.thanks Again!
