My alternator just died on my 06 f350. I was wondering if there are differences in the dual or single alternators equipped on these trucks.
example: taking the upper alternator from a dual system and putting it on a single alternator system making it the only alternator.

They are different. They are of different output rating and mounting at a minimum.

I'll confirm you can put the stock upper 140a dual system alternator on a single alternator truck. It bolts right up.

I live in the past.

I stand corrected - I was indeed speaking of the differences between the upper and lower. Apparently flat-rate reading again. I see it now! :p

With all the newer things you have to be up on, the 6.0L is two dog lifetimes away.
