Yeah, Ford has some weird option requirements. On a chasis cab you can't get the rapid cab heater with a limited slip dif. WTF

Hey Nathan, welcome to FTE. Is the truck you bought setup like that? Is this a truck you found in a dealer's stock? Wonder what the dealer would charge to add them now or if that is possible?

is this guy for-real?!

try shopping the chevy and dodge lots. ask them where their upfitter switches are...?!

it's like $35 to get them on an order, or more if you have to buy them after. But wait, they fit right there in the dash....

just buy the dang thing and use your twins to power that 9 bazillion watt amp, or whatever your beef is...

A dealer should have no trouble installing them. I dont see why two alternators would make a bit of difference.
