397 amp alternator. Is it 2?

[oakvad]

So I was nosing around under the hood looking stuff over and trying to find my stupid block heater cord and noticed I have dual alternators. My build sticker says it's the 397 amp one but theirs clearly 2 alternators in their. Is that correct?
Oh and where do they hide the block heater cord?

 

[SomethingRandom]

Yes 2. Cord should be behind the bumper

Yes it’s two. No idea on the heater cord but check down by the license plate area.

Alright. Good to know guys, thanks.

Let us know where you find it. I ordered it on my truck too. Thanks man!

Yes, two alternators and two batteries. The block heater cord is hard to find the first time!

Worth noting the two alternators aren’t the same output. One is 200 240 amps the other is 157 amps. Don’t know which is which on the truck, though.

240+157 397A total.

I would use a outdoor cover with the spring loaded door. Will keep it from getting packed with dirt and mud and such. Had the same thing on the fender of our 85 with the 6.9 International diesel engine.

My Noco inlet was just delivered yesterday. Of all the hole saws I have, I don't have the one I need lol.

Took me two tries to find my engine block heater cord. It is there, but you have to get underneath the truck and look behind the bumper. I was also puzzled with the alternators because I was expecting to find one 397 amp unit when in fact it is two units. 240 amp and 157 amp. I had to take pictures of the part numbers and look them up. A bit of effort, but it forced me to get to know my truck a bit.
