if its glazed (sides are shiny) replace it..

Are you checking voltage right at the battery with a multimeter or are you going by the voltage guage on dash ?

If good at the battery, you are all set charging wise. However this means you are having a guage or voltage drop to the guage or guage panel problem.

Turns out the rebuilt alternator I got from the local shop was bad. I found a place in TN that has new units for about half of what I paid for the rebuilt unit.

Thanks for all the help fellas.
