Is the battery/charge light ON?

Try thoroughly cleaning the battery ground wire.

How are you certain that the alternators keep going out? Have you had them tested? Do you have any check engine lights on? The belt tensioned properly? When it craps out on you does the engine shut off? Try running it with the headlights on and see if the engine will shut off.

have your battery checked.
a battery stabilizes the alternator current.
Ive seen a bad battery affect a car's electrical, similiar to your problems.
bench test your alternators b4 u put them on....

Replace the battery. Sounds like the route of your issues.

This is a sure sign that the common ground wire is loose, disconnected, broken, or corroded.

Check G201 and G401:
