That is strange. I bet you have a bad connection. I think the stock amp is
130 amps. Even if it is only 100 amps, that should be more then enough.
Check for loose connections and bad connections. You should have WAY more
then enough power.
I run two amps, 560 watts of headlamps, ALL the running lights AND a
Hinicker V snow plow on a TOTALLY stock ford F-250 system with no problems
at all.
My boat has a measly 65 amp alternator. I can run a heater, blower, all the
lights in it (23.5 feet), bilge, shower pump and radio and it just starts to
get taxed. I do have a 130 amp for the boat but have not installed it yet.
So, unless you are running a gazillion watt amps, look somewhere else. Also
check for a slipping belt. And, if all that fails and the higher power alt
does not work, get some caps for the amps.
