You may need to change battery cables. GM battery cable ends are a trouble spot. You can get high quality ends that splice in or whole ones if they look bad or whole HD cables. Both ends need be known clean with good connections.

Charge the battery separately - new or not they should be charged first then check alternator ouput when running,
