Two alternators ??

[Brooks James]

I'm thinking about it
Outer groove on balancer
Pulley not need with new 16:1 manual box
Will line up with frigging

In keeping with aircraft style redundancy, standby, and overkill electrically
The square back is 80 amps the other 50 ?

Just use a bigger amp battery for electrical power reserve.

Unless you are just trying to make it look cool.

[Newbomb Turk]

No need for all that.

Yes, cool, and attempted engine symmetry
Fat stereo , electronics in the future
Don't want a heavy battery in the trunk
130 amps should do it

 

[Brooks James]

Ill wire it as a spare

 

[mopowers]

If all you want is a spare, take it off and keep it in the trunk. It takes, what 2 minutes to swap out?

 

[Brooks James]

Redundancy, aircraftesque, no stopping

 

[dadsbee]

Just say no and step away.. even general aviation aircraft don't run two on an engine!

 

[CFD244]

Man, if you are doin' it....You might as well do it right! If a little is good, a whole lot is better

ok no! they run twin magnetos

 

[dmopar74]

But why, unless your a stereo freak i don't see the point.
Why not run two engines incase the other breaks down?
twin ignition systems?
Front axle incase the rear goes out?
4 headlights?
16 fuel pumps? You never know

 

[Jadaharabi]

Ambulances run dual alternators.

previously mentioned a fat stereo in the future post 4

buses
trucks
motorhomes

There are readily available alternators from 100 all the way up to 200 amps that will just bolt on in place of the original. Not doubling the weight, not adding the drag from the extra belt, less additional wiring to scab in etc, etc…

My diesel box truck has dual alternators. But it has four batteries too. Two for the engine, two for the lift gate.
I have no idea how it's all wired, but I know that when one of the lift batteries went bad, it drained the other three.

Some.. house batteries and starting battery systems. Brooks ain't building an ambulance.

I had these already, thanks

You very funny.

As to redundancy,
in my experience,
Mopar alternators seldom have trouble; Just keep some spare brushes in the Glovebox.
If anything gives trouble on them it's the bearings; Just put new ones in every 15 years or so......... lol.
But regulators, now that's a nuther story.

 

[MoparMike1974]

Reminds me of my friends volare were working on. He has a spare ECU mounted on the fender next to the original and then another spare inside the car.
Never had a mopar alternator leave me on the side of the road. ECU, regulator and ballast always in the glovebox.

Not a thing wrong with that!
