Does the system voltage increase once the engine is running? If not, then the alternator isn't charging.

Others have had problems with the PWM alternator controls that these trucks come with from the factory. If this is suspected, it is often easier to rewire the alternator to system reference control. The link below runs through how to accomplish just that:

Convert Alternator from PWM to Battery Reference
