Your truck has an 145 amp alternator so you will be fine inside that range. A good choice for the money would be the Audioque 1200D which puts out 1200RMS @ 1 ohm. It costs $249 + ship and can be found here: http://www.audioque.com/aq/AQamps.htm You would wire your sub like this to get a 1 ohm load:
