[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 7859623, member: 629234"] first thing i would do, is look at the wiring. i've seent his a lot. both in auto, and tractors. if the cables are not up to par, it can just keep taking out alternators, and, in turn, batteries. the engine-body, and battery-body grounds usually are not in great shape on a factory vehicle after a while, and constant loads of an amp can slowly cook the alternator paower cable so that it acts like one big resistor. not to say that the replacement wasn't a dud, as mentioned already, or that the factory amp bypass was not done right, just saying, that it's usually the simpler things that get overlooked.
