[QUOTE="mastershake575, post: 8920375, member: 665251"] Alternator like I pointed out is incredible easy on the 2nd gen silverados since it's top mounted. You can pay someone to swap out the alt and do the big 3 and it would take them less than 30 minutes total to do both. Running/wiring multiple batteries especially if you want one in the rear + adding capacitors will 100% take more effort for less results. As for idle that's more justification for going the alt route. Alts like those from Singer Alternators are run with an overdrive pulley so you'll get about 2/3rds of the total amperage at idle which is insane. Most OEM alternators barely charge if at all at idle your just pulling straight battery. That's a night and day difference. That's not even factoring in that some of these alts include bypasses for the factor voltage regulators (which the 2nd gen silverados have) so that's another plus as well you can get full volts at all times [/QUOTE]
