    Start it up and use a voltmeter to see if there is voltage coming out.

    I have no clue but I was having some issue a few years ago.
    Actually 3 trucks ago and don’t remember what it was but the fix was a new ground cable

    And what voltage is that? Sounds like the new alternator is junk. It should be putting out somewhere between 13 to 14 volts. I don’t remember if it has an external voltage regulator or not. That would be the first thing to find out.
