You have 2 posts, how the hell can we be tired of hearing from you?:dw:

First of all it will be helpful going forward if you give more information when you are looking for help, which you obviously are.

You stated... "my alternator is not charging it is a brand new alternator just replaced it and the battery both check out fine ive checked all fuses.."

Which is it, because it can't be both?

"my alternator is not charging it is a brand new"

OR

"both check out fine ive checked all fuses"

If it's charging what is the voltage output and at what rpms are they reading that.

If it's not charging and it's brand new, what kind of replacement alternator is it?

OP more details.
What brand alt did you replace it with?
Many people have had major issues with the Autoparts store brands even though they come with lifetime warranty.
I went with a Ford Reman and have had 0 issues...

Sorry for the lack of detail. First off I tested my alternator that was in there it was a ford OEM Replacment from a ford dealership it lasted a year and it has a new 3.5 inch pulley. took it to autozone and they said it failed took it to orielys and advanced they said it passed but could be a diode going out when it gets hot which is causeing the missed readings. So when i got the one from autozone I had him test before and after I swapped pulleys to make sure it passed before i walked out the door which it did. I do not have the voltage read yet got a friend bring by a reader today the new alternator is a autozone reman.
