Odometer trouble codes can sometimes be an absolute pain in the tailbone to decode. An option here is to get the vehicle plugged into an OBD2 scanner to check the main ECU for Trouble Codes. These are easier to decode as they are generally used in most vehicles after 1996. Post these codes and we'll try to help you more.
If you have to pay for this service ask at 4 or 5 different places as prices can be VERY different!
Was this code taken from the vehicles speedo display or an actual OBD2 diagnostic scanner? Speedo display codes are NOT DTC codes. They are also very vague and often are difficult to find out what they are actually for. Get the vehicle plugged in to a full diagnostic system or an OBD2 scanner to find any correct DTC codes. A correct DTC code is a letter followed by four numbers.
I believe the codes 9318, E013, and 9352 all relate to low/weak/faulty/insert-messed-up-adjective here battery...replacing the batter should fix the problem.
Check out Ebay for Alternators. I have seen some for special duty on that site and I want to say 185-200 Amp. There were some additional power parts needed for those installations. Limousines, Ambulances and Emergency vehicles use them. I believe the van Ambulances are on a FORD E350 or E450 chassis which should be the same under the hood as your F350.
You need to watch the pulleys carefully on whatever you buy. Besides the width and diameter, there are ribs on the pulley and you don't want to change everything just for a belt. Some of the Police cars ran 135-165 Amp units.
Do a Browser search for Emergency vehicle lighting, Emergency vehicle power and variations of that. Some volunteer firemen are big into adding lights and fixing their private vehicles for runs. You might be able to get a Kit to power Electric snow-blade equipment with an additional Alternator mounting bracket, Alternator, pulley, wiring and belt.
I hope my solution has been very helpful to you. Most of the smaller Alternators have internal regulators, the bigger ones require a hang-on Regulator. But you need to be aware of the wiring harness and its ability to handle the power.
