It should be the 700 r4 transmission with the 350 block,
unless someone changed it out, it could be a turbo 350, if the truck is a 3/4 ton.
if you have 3 gears and over drive it is a 700 r4
only 3 gears turbo 350

The belt maybe to small.

Take the pump halfs apart.

there is a known problem with the circuit board the bulbs sit in ..most parts stores sell them in the "help" section or "dorman products" section if you want to check it properly you will need a test light and a friend...first thing you must attach the test light end to a good ground source put the other end in to the electricle connector one wire at a time of the brake switch push the pedal if it illuminates on a wire only when the pedal is pushed it is getting powered up and functioning next go to the back of the truck and do the same with the tail light ..use your friend to push the pedal and test for power present in a wire only when the pedal is pushed if that is there then the power is getting to the tailight next you must check for ground so put the test light end on power you might need a piece of wire to extend to the back ..be carefull probe the plug if the test light illuminates there is a good ground there and you need to change the board

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

If you installed a same alternator amperes then It's time to get a higher one. The old one may not be suitable for your electrical needs which can cause the ampere drop down. I strongly suggest that you add another body ground from the battery to the chassis. This can sort things out.

A faulty relays can cause the ampere of the alternator drops down too so please do check it.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!
