The voltage drop in whatever cable is supplying 12V to the trailer is going to be substantial, and may not do very much at the end of a long run. A DC-DC charger will draw more current as it increases the voltage to the appropriate level needed for charging. You may also like:. BB code is On. Smilies are On. Trackbacks are Off.

The dealers order this because a lot thier potential customer buy these trucks for snow plowing duties 4X4. The electrically driven snow plow units use a lot of juice, at low RPM and the GM diesels have a special heavy duty under hood wiring harness attached already for this application. I was told by long time friend and truck mechanic no need for the dual alternators unless you have a lot of aftermarket accessories that run all the time and you idle a lot, so we opted out and went with single, have had no issues.
You will love the new Denali, picked ours up in December, its an Awesome truck. When I ordered my truck I ordered it with the snow plow package. The only reason I got this option was because the front axle is heavy duty. This way if I add larger fuel tanks to the truck the front axle can handle it.
The snow plow package comes with dual amp alternators. In my opinion it was well worth it. I haven't found anyone to give me a definitive answer as to whether either of dual alternators on the Ford will continue to work if either of them failed. But, I have yet to hear of any of the 6. Interesting piece from the Ford workshop manual. It is consistently repeated using the word "generator", yet the Ford option is alternator. Alternators and generators have the the same basic result, delivering a usable DC voltage supply for the vehicle, but work a bit differently.
Perhaps Ford is using the term generator as a generic term for the complete power package. Just for info I have single alternator checked amps at trailer breaker for feed from truck. At rpm I had 7a not enough bring batteries to full charge but enough to maintain while traveling.
