Use a digital voltmeter to verify alternator output while the alternator is in the car and under load. It should put out 13.8 to 14.4 volts. It may be fine, but you could have a problem with the internal voltage regulator. While you are at it, verify less than 0.1 volts drop from the alternator chassis to the engine block (verifying the ground connection).
