I have 8 gauge wire from the alternator direct to the positive battery post. Something wacky was going on for three alternators in a row to quit charging. Not sure what else is tapped into that green wire from the factory alternator wiring harness to the solenoid or what effect it might have had...that wire is no longer in the mix so we will see.
