    Do you know the type and model of the alternator? Is it a delco or denso or mitsu or some other brand.

    If that's built on a GMC chassis, it should have a Delco alternator. Delco alternators have built in voltage regulators so if your output voltage goes low like you've described, the most likely culprit is the alternator. You can remove it for off-board testing to verify the fault at many parts stores.
