If it charges fine with the new alternator, then what's the problem? What makes you think it has to be the alternator? What is the voltage showing while you are driving. The alternator not charging shouldn't affect the way the engine runs. It will run off the battery just fine.

Verify the charging system is the first to do. Hook up a volt meter to see what is actually happening.
Did not get to mess with it yesterday, it was pissing and a small river developed under the Burb.

The reason I asked is because that was the ONLY thing that I messed with.

I didn't think it was the issue just wanted another opinion.
