After replacing my Alternator, car ran fine for 2 days. Then I began to lose power being left on the side of the road again. The battery check out good so I had the Alternator checked again it's good. Once I get the car started feels normal but after driving for a short time It begins to hesitate. I lose power & my speed-odometer drops out to O while I'm driving on the highway. I make it down the road 3 or 4 miles then it dies. Not sure what to check next! Any suggestions?

I forgot to mention after lose of power it leaves the battery dead.
Needing to be charged before it starts car again. After car is started it may last 10 to 15 minutes before it dies again.
