Default ALTERNATOR PROBLEMS

Hope someone can help me. I have a 05 3500 diesel that I converted into a Repo vehicle. I have an electric lift with 2 motors on it pulling 50 amps each, plus my inverter for my laptop, gps, flashlight charger etc. The stock alternator is not cutting the ice. I have the proper thickness cable running from the batt to the motors. Aprox 6 ft. everything I pick up is at idle. Does Dodge make a duel alternator setup or do I just need to get a high output one? If so can you recommend one? Mike

Have your high idle turned on at the dealership. It allowed my winch to function way better after having the engine set at higher rpm's. This should help you out with your lifts and such. With your truck running in park turn on your cruise control and then hit the set button. If it is already enabled you will hear the engine increase the rpm's
