lol yeah ill sit @ 13.5 hot and bump and drop to 11v and amp will go into protect. iv done it

Or how about you get a internally regulated alt, and a nice battery bank so you don't drop to 11v.

Perhaps your regulation setup is burning up the alternator ? Sounds like it's not quite right the way you are describing it.

I bought three MechMan 300a alts not that long ago. One internally regulated for my Explorer and two externally regulated adjustable alts for my bro's Excursion. They're all working great.

my dad told me to put stock alt in and do 10+ batts in backwhat do u think?

Chris I already told you, it has to do something with your car.
Guys, its not just his mechman alt that went bad, his stock alt went bad as well. I'm not trying to defend mechman here, but if the stock alt didn't go bad, then I'd think it was the alt.

clamp the hot wire off a good alt if you can and see how much current is flowing.

This might work.... it would be a lot more expensive than finding the short I would think

You may be able to borrow one from a Napa or something. Atleast you would be able to see if something is trying to draw a huge amount of power that shouldnt be.

Just go with a DC power alt and you will be good lol.

I dont think that the brand is the issue. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif Multiple alts shouldnt heat up to the point of smoke and failure. His stock and his mechman went.
