Has anyone had any luck yet ordering the parts for the dual alternators for the 6.4?

Also, I am confused about the power output of the dual alternators. There are two alternators they offer. 180 amp and a 220 amp. According to Cummins forums, you cannot mix the 180 amp and 220 amp alternators. They must be identical. If you have the Cummins, you can get the dual 440 amp setup, which is 2 x 220amp. When you build a 6.4 Hemi with dual alternators, your option is the 380 amp setup. On the Ram website, when you click details on the 380 dual setup, it says it adds a 220 amp additional alternator. 180 amp + 220 amp is 400 amps, not 380 amps. And if you go 2 x 180 is 360. So where are they getting the 380 amps?

Lastly, Benny, on your first reply you typed "BAJ 220 AMP + XF5 380 AMP Dual Alternator". You werent referring to having the 380 amp setup (two alternators) and then adding a third 220 amp alternator also? Or is there an alternator that puts out 380?

Thanks for all the info guys. If I could get a truck with the snow chief package in a Laramie Limited, I'd be a happy camper. But is a no go.

I believe you are correct in that the 380 amp rating is a combination of both therefore if we subtract the standard BAJ alternator rating of 220 we end up with an additional 160 amp alternator. In regards to not mixing them I cannot really say as this would go against that theory.

I believe the second of the dual alternators on the 6.4 is actually a 160A alternator. For some reason it's not the 180 or 220.
