Hello,

I am looking for a little help. I have a 2021 3500 with the 6.4L. I have no idea what the alternator is in it and don't know how to tell? I use it to haul a truck camper and want to add a 40A DC/DC charger to charge up my camper batteries. I am pretty sure that it will draw about 50A at full draw.

Does anyone know if my stock alternator will handle this? I don't know how to tell what alternator it is.... I know they came with 180A and 220A, my truck is the cheapest tradesmen available so let's assume a single 180A.

Thaoughts?

register your truck on the mopar site you can than pull up your build sheet. It will tell you exactly what is on your truck.

Thanks, so I looked on the Mopar website and I do have the 180A alternator...... so now the big question is will that alternator have enough to run an additional 50A of charging to the camper? i do not run allot of accessories like lights.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help!!
