Re: 2000 windstar alternator woes

The most likely cause of frying alternators would be the battery, which you have already changed.
While you wait for the alternator to be repaired, you might put the battery on a charger (if you don't have one, I'll bet you could borrow from a neighbor).
This way, the new / repaired alternator will not have to charge up a discharged battery.
