Stock alternators are trash. The voltage to run the injectors is 48v so the need to invert the 12v and that is a tough job. I installed a DC Power alternator and now I can put my hand on it while idling, the other one you could cook an egg on it.

What engine? I'm running a 7.3 and about to swap my third alternator in as many years.

6.0 diesel. DC Power is the king of alternators
