Re: alternator
Have you checked the voltage regulator for function and wiring issues?

Re: alternator
I installed a new alternator on another type of vehicle and had the problem of intermittent charging. Returned new alternator and exchanged for another, same problem. After 3 days of tinkering, I found the brand new shiny powder coated bracket was not grounding the alternator. Put ground wire from alternator to block and everything perfect. Try a ground wire.

Re: alternator
Did you figure out the problem? Does it have an internal or external regulator?
