Just a quick question on your 2 year old alternator.

I bought the same unit at Advance Auto Parts, which is owned by the same Corp. as Checker, so mine is probably the same as yours. ( Brand new unit, not remanufactured, LLT warranty, came with a dyno slip of the output test).

Did you check the voltage at the battery with the engine running?

To blow a couple of batteries in a short time might indicate a bad Voltage regulator in the alternator. I had this happen to me, where the output voltage was around 23 Volts, anbd it cooked 2 batteries on me in a 1 month period.
