odd, yea im not a wizz at all this but what solved my problem is the good old fashioned process of elimination!
replaced alternator, battery, starter, ect. now it has come down to the wiring.
ill post again once i have it solved out.

I have it wired directly from the alternator to the battery.

Really easy to do. I can take pics if you like but I'm heading to work now and won't be home until really late.

Meter shows over 14.0V consistently so now my alternator charges my battery just fine.

Here you go.

Really easy to do, like 3 min job.

Need 2 ends that can be crimped and some wires. I used 3 wires (don't remember what gauge) because I didn't have enough gauge wire for the power from alternator to battery. Better than have a little too much wiring than too little and causing heat issues I guess.

I have no idea what those wires are for.. are they for powering accessories? If they are, then what I did will not work.

I only did what I did because my alternator wouldn't charge my battery.
