So, what year did the PW start using the 220 amp alt as standard ? I know if you get the dual alt option now, the 2nd one is 220 amp but I thought the standard one was still 160 amp ? I also knew they bumped the standard 160 amp up to 180 amp for a little while.

The diesels have a dual 220 amp alt option. For the PW, I thought that 380 amps was max from the factory for the PW ?

Could be a misprint on their website though.

I am pretty positive when you get dual alternators it is 380 amp.

I was surprised to see that some of those small cars are involved in the recall (220 amp alternator!?).

Police cars have the big alternator.

There may have been some 3Gen commercial trucks (4500/5500) with a 220 alternator but for the PW the single 220 alternator option started in 2010+ with the 4Gen 2500 Hemi trucks, I think the dual alternator option was not available until 2014+ with the 6.4 Hemi, right now here are the options:

1) Single 180 amp alternator (standard equipment)
2) Single 220 amp alternator (optional equipment)
3) Dual 160/220 amp alternators with 380 total amps (optional equipment)

4Gen diesels have a dual 220/220 amp alternator option with 440 total amps.

3Gen PW's came with a single 160 amp alternator standard, all other 5.7 2500's came with a 136 amp alternator standard with the 160 amp available as an option.

If you have a question about yours, go to these two links.

It must be just certain vehicles with that alternator? I have the 220 amp in my 2014 but typing my Vin in to the mopar site says I have no open recalls.
