I was just wondering if you would need to upgrade alternater/battery in a automobile (93 dodge Ramcharger 318/5.2L) to run either radio?

You should be more than fine. I could not see these radios drawing more than 15-20 amps MAX. It looks like that truck comes standard with a 75 amp alternator.

Good luck, and have fun.

no.
HOWEVER, you should run it straight to the battery with some #8 or even #6 wire is nice, make sure connections are good, ground cables from everywhere and to everywhere, etc, etc, etc
