Things not addressed...

1/ what alternator are you using? The original 510 or the KA???????

2/ If the original 510 alternator why was it replaced??? Given the terrible record of rebuilt alternator failures. Seems like 50% failures often 'bad in the box'. If it's the $60 special from Auto Zone then look no further.

3? If you have the KA alternator is your externally regulated 510 electrical system 'converted' to use an internally regulated alternator??? If not then this is your problem
