FYI.. may or may not apply to your truck. I have a VW as a daily driver that ran fine but just wasn't acting just right. Leave the lights on 5 minutes without it running and it would start weak if at all. Radio never came in the way others would and some things like power locks and rear wiper were real sluggish.

Replaced the alternator last night and it was like driving a new car this morning.
