Replace/run a new heavy gauge wire from the alternator output straight to the battery +. I don't know how your diplomat is wired as the older mopars ran this wire through the firewall to the ammeter, then to the battery. Sometimes the old wires can get all corroded inside and lose conductivity even though they visually look fine.
Not applicable to the Diplomat, it uses a shunt resistor to drive the ammeter. So the current never passes thru the bulkhead connection. Sounds like the alternator is flaky to me. Possibly a diode issue internal to it.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
