2021 E450 dual alternator
Does anyone have this package, or can anyone help with parts? Specifically with the gas 7.3L. My RV has the single 210 amp alternator, and I’d like to upgrade to a 240/157a dual alternator setup...

It was the Ford dealer parts dept, they’ve historically been awful.
I’m not concerned about warranty, the second alternator wouldn’t be integrated into factory electronics at all. I’ve modified everything I’ve ever owned.
I’m going to run a 400 amp hour lithium battery setup. I want to be able to run the roof top AC off of the Victron inverter while driving (or just quickly recharge the batteries while driving). The plan is to run a 60 amp sterling B2B charger off of each alternator, for a combined 120 amps to the lithium battery bank. I don’t want to overwork/overheat a smaller single alternator asking too much from it, and this seems like the safest way to do it. A little overkill, sure. No, I don’t want to have to rely on the generator while I’m driving. In fact if the solar and alternator perform well enough the generator will come out.
