if they are dimming after truck warms up try disconnecting the grid heater. may be bad sensor is calling for grid heat all the time.

My lights have a small pulse at idle. Rev the motor and it speeds up too, almost going away. I've installed an external reg. Not much of a problem, just thought I'd chime in.

Sounds like a bad diode in the alt. have it checked. it will charge with one bad, but will pluse the lights a you speak of.
Hope this helps you.
