I had the same problem and went through 3 alts, then realized the it was a bad ground. I had to run a ground strap from alt case to eng block.Good luck Brad

Run a ground strap from the alt to the block. You can also run the charge wire from the alt to the battery lug of the starter to shorten up the length of the charging wire.
