    If you have the tow package it's a 130 amp alternator.


    1. Battery (+) to alternator power wire
    2. Battery (-) to ground
    3. Engine block to ground

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    With the truck running, test the battery voltage with a meter. It should read higher 13.7V. Or you can pull it out and have it tested.
