getting a charge, i took the pos cable
off while the car was running and it
died... so i replaced the alternator in
it and it still didnt charge... so i relaced the battery with a new one....

When you turn your key to the "On" position with the engine not running, does the "Alt" or "Choke" light come on? If not, try replacing the light bulb...

The bulb in some cars and trucks completes the circuit through the bulb, without it, it won't charge.

I always forget about that RB..
