3.0 liter 2WD I'm having a hard time putting my belt back on after replacing my alternator. Do you have a diagram that would help?

You don't say what your problem is. However, if you loosen the adjusting screw on the alternator bracket, your belt will easily slip back into place. Then tighten adjusting screw enough so that belt does not squeal at highway speeds.
