Have looked everywhere. While my old 2003 had a belt routing diagram under the hood, seems Chrysler didn’t see the need on the new truck. If anyone has come across a belt routing diagram for dual alternator diesel 5th gen please post a link or file. C
 
After thinking "outside the box" I recalled a belt routing diagram in the instructions in a Mopar Exhaust Brake Kit I installed in my 2003 dually. I pulled up document and it appears that the EB vacuum pump is installed in the same location on the engine as the 2nd alternator. Sure enough, the routing matched that of a photo of a 6.7 with dual alternators. A little magic on the computer, I printed it and taped a small copy under the hood for easy reference. I simply named the EB pump, "2nd Alternator". Hopefully I won't have to change that belt out any time soon as it looks like a bear to do that job. I will however carry a spare (Genos Garage) since I doubt every auto parts store will carry that particular belt.
 
Wow, not much belt wrap at all on the 2nd alternator! Looks like the PS reservoir changes too?

The images I grabbed weren't the exact same MY or platform, I think one was a C&C. Notice the EGR setup is different too.
