Check the small 2 wire connector on the alternator and make sure it stays plugged in and that the contact pins are not backing out of the connector.

What is the voltage output?

Also, what is the apt?

the volt should read between 13-14.5 when tested at the battery. If the Alt test right the battery could be going bad, the Alt is charging the battery is not holding the charge
