Sounds like a perfect time to swap in a heavy duty alternator / mobile
welder setup....

Gabe, I'd get the name brand one. I've always used either delco or
motorcraft alternators (i'm a ford/chevy convert) and have never had
one
fail on me. I've found that if you go name brand you get the better
quality
that will last. They warranty those alternators at poop boys forever
b/c
they're crap. I went thru three 120A prostart ones in a month once -
never
again. I don't know the quality of the mopar alternators, but I've not
had
a single problem with mine and I've got quite the hefty stereo in my
truck....
