??? for FORD diesel service tech
I've had a 2007 F350 dually 6.0 diesel for a couple years but have only put 10,000 miles on it.....the alternator has quit but I'm at 38 months of a 36 month warranty on that item . Is there a fuse/circuit breaker anywhere that could have tripped? I can't find any info in the owners manual about it and wanted to know before I buy a $400 alternator.
Also, It appears I do not have an engine block heater.....is that something that can be added? Seems it would have the "base" components already installed or maybe not. If nothing is already in there I imagine it would be a B I T C H to add now.
Thanks for any help you can offer

Thanks Matt. I'll give you a ring.....I do have the block heater, but not the cord for it to be used. The alternator still needs to be addressed, 2 local dealers I called didn't seem interested in helping me out regarding those 2 months I'm past.

I agree call Ford customer service, they've actually been very good with items just out of warranty time frame, now if it had been like 6-12 months thats a different story. Friends truck somehow blew its transmission literally about 30 days past warrenty, never had any issues before just a weird fluke... they covered it. He's got about 150K miles on that truck now and trans is still fine.
