I added a heavy ground from the battery which I have relocated to underneath the bed floor to a junction block on the frame right beside the motor. Then I added a 4 gauge wire from there to the engine,firewall, and core support. Alternator is still getting hot after idling for less than 5 minutes. Any other ideas?
