battery is good, connections are good. Alt is only putting out 12 volts. No power coming off harness of alt. New alt is new, old one tested @ 14 volts but bearings were bad.

The new alt sounds bad. Have you tried replacing it?

I haven't changed the new one yet, but I had the same problem with the old one and tested good. There is a silver slow blow fuse in the fuse box, for the battery, I haven't changed. The 30 amp green fuse for the battery is good. The only reason I kept the new alt was the bearings in old one were making noise.I must be overlooking something.
