how's the clearance with the new alternator between it and the cab?
Any pictures with the new alternator mounted?
I'm seriously considering the 24 volt alternator swap but I also have to figure out how to remount my AC compressor. I made these modifications in April 2016. Way before any one had the original brackets for the driver side.

The axis of the alternator moves in towards the engine ~3". This 150A has the same pad mount boss' as the 110A but the housing is bigger in diameter by about 1-1/2". Still room to spare between the block.

The 110A unit is inboard of the frame and clears the mud flap and cab frame. I won't switch out to the 150 unless the 110 burns out. So figure another 3/4" sticking out to the right in the first photo. Seems to me that an ac compressor bracket could bolt over the padmount easily looking at the first picture.
