Am asking this in desperation, as I know there are alot of bright minds here, before I have to go to the shop and get soaked for labor costs.

The alternator in my 96 Ram pickup fried out, so I replaced it.
Easy fix.
Now theres no charge getting through to the batt.
Changed the 120 amp alt fuse, no joy.
Took the new alt back out to have it bench tested, passed 3 times. Batt is a brand new Diehard gold which holds a charge just fine.
Looked for any fusible links or frayed wires between the alt and batt, didn't find any.
Connections on alt all tight & solid, no way I could botvh them, they only hook up 1 way.
Can anyone thing of what may be stopping the charge from reaching the batt ?
