I have the GM alternator on my 1500 and it was a fairly easy fit. No
issues with it so far.
OTOH, I have no idea if my fan clutch is actually working or not... ;)
If you can go electric, that would be probably the better route. Free up
a pony or two from the engine as well.

I have installed GM alternator #7127 63amp (or #7134 80amp) on 1275s
without too much trouble. The 7127 was $30 with a lifetime warranty
from Autozone.
There are other alternator conversions that are more plug and play.
If the replacement parts are supposed to be press fit and do not stay
then I would abandon that avenue and go electric, even going as far as
upgrading the alternator.
