Before you go with the Mean Green, do some reading here. These threads are good ones to start with:

And also look into the CS144 GM alternator option:

Search for "Mean Green" also - there are mixed results with the alt and the company/ies that deal with them.

i have a mean green on my 60. it gives me much more power. i don't have any type of dual battery set up etc. hindsight i would now go with a cheaper one, but i have no complaints about its performance.

Don't listen to Paddy - His alt is the only thing that works on his rig.
And I have to disagree with Mace...the alt may make it go faster/tow better, but it isn't nearly as effective as racing stripes or a snorkel (laughing at myself on that one).

Read that first thread I posted up. Lots of good info there. Clean up your grounds, check your wiring and fusable links, etc...it's a lot of work, but it's basically free and can turn it around.

First, I'm not from texas so I'm a bit out of my element on this thread.
The stock alternator ran everything fine off the show room floor and can run a normal truck fine. I bet all your problems are related to corroded connections and old wires. The threads that Swank attached are the ones to follow.
Best of luck !!!

You are in the right place. www.lslc.org
If you are looking for a more powerful alt, try premiere you don't need the welder but it can be added at a later date and you already have the heavy duty alt just waiting to be used with an under the hood arc welder
