Then go here..
Just search for a low mileage KG3 4 pin connector 145 amp alternator. I just got one for $60. Many have issues with rebuilds/remans/aftermarket. The truck seems to be a fix. Its just a better factory version of the one you have. Just my opinion. Hope this helps.

Is that the same guy that gets the old batteries and refurbishes them? $55 is pretty cheap, unless thats just to only fix whats wrong. I just had mine done on my silverado to go from 145 amp to 240 and it was $250.
They also upgraded my TA alternator to 165 amp and it was WELL worth the $$

I'm no electrical guru but I do know that you have voltage which is the amour of
Power you have and amps is what pushes the voltage. The more amps you have the less of a voltage drop there is when something comes on. Think about all of the electrical components in your car. At some point all of them will be on causing a dramatic amp draw. If your trying to pull 120 amps from a 105 amp alternator it won't keep up and you will have a voltage drop. The amps are kinda like the reservoir of power available.
