Hello. If you continue to have a low voltage issue with the new alternator then there may be a circuit issue. Most of the time, if the alternator is good, it is the battery cables or there is an issue with the amp sensor on the battery cable. Most of the time it is a failure in the battery cables themselves. I usually do a voltage drop test on the battery cables first to see if they are bad. I replace them if they fail the test. If the cables are fine then I test the amp sensor which is the second most common cause of this. One of those two should be the problem.
