dual alternators
I see Superduties have dual alternators listed as an option. Anyone have this setup? Do you like it? And how are the loads separated? Thanks.

As far as two versus one goes, redundancy is usually a good thing and probably why Super Duty diesels have two batteries.
Your 6.4 has a 17.5:1 compression ratio. Mine has 18. Add in 8 high amp. glow plugs, FICM and fuel pump, you need no less than 1700CCA. Can't get that out of one battery. You need two. Ever try to start your truck on one battery? I don't recommend it.
