    well thanx for all the help guys. but im gonna go and kill my isuzu dealer tomarrow, about 4 hours it took me to put it in and when I slapped it on the battery light still is on and the TOD still doesn't work(which might be a good thing with WDC coming up now i can peel out) but they told me that an alternator would fix it all and it fixed nothing. so im gonna go raise hell and make a scene until they fix the problem! grrr am i pissed!

    You might want to charge your battery with a charger before you go on the warpath. It's possible that your last alternator wasn't charging and left the battery in a low charge state and the new alt hasn't brought the level up yet.

    You could also try running the engine for 30-45 minutes with ZERO accessories turned on to see if it brings the charge up.

    Do you have a voltmeter to check the battery voltage in a running and non-running state?
