It could be wiring in general.
Check the wire attached to the alternator where the nut is , then check the harness to make sure it's tight in the alternator. Check all your grounds and make sure you've got good Batt. terminal.
Are you sure the alternator is new ? How did you remove the alternator if so ?

Ok , but alot of ppl claim they "changed" there alt. and you ask how and they say simple , took old out and now in. And most of us know theres alot more to it than that. If you drverside axle didnt come out , then neither did your orig. alt.
I still guess you should look at the wiring more . You have to be overlooking it somewhere.

i would say check grounds. there one that goes from the teminal to the body right on top of the head light. and the one that goes from the valve cover to the body right above the headlight i had the same problem but thats because i did hook the valve cover one back up. i did say those 2 would be ur best guess. before u start looking all over the motor.
