Answer
Hello,

Unfortunately, and there are many of you to save money, go too a parts store to diagnose and electrical problem. These are parts changers and don't know how to diagnose anything. So those that think they saved money, didn't because the issue is still there.

The first thing I would do is relocate the body ground and see what you have then. The ground comes from the battery to the frame. Drill a hole 6" back on the frame. Scrape to bare metal and mount the neg cable there. If that fixes the problem, you now know you wasted the money for the alternator and battery.
