WTF....I have a missed up wire that's burning my alternator. I just bought a new alternator and it died on me two day's after installing it. Ima start at the Starter then check else where. New Battery...New Alternator...It's gotta be a Bucked up Wire shorting out my Alternator. Has this problem happen to anyone with a 5.0? Hopefully sooo...SoI could narrow down the problem.

Check your engine to frame ground connections,also clean all positive lead wires from alternator connection to Battery and check insulation on same wire/wires.

Also do not count out that the new alternator was weak already, I have gotten "new" parts that took a shit on me a few days later.

The Speed Shop I went to put in a New Power Master 130 Amp Alternator. They said my Harmonic Balancer was out and my Belt was on wrong. Yes...the belt was on wrong, infact I had my belt turning my fan the opposite way. I never over heated but had it fixed like a true Novice. My car has been back for 1 day now and hasn't burned the alternator. Well see wasup in a few days.
