Alternator issue?

Alternator issue?
Was out of town Saturday in the pickup ('95 F350 7.3) an hour from the house and the charging "light" (battery symbol) came on. We made it home and I pulled the alternator. Took it to the local parts store, it tested bad, replaced it. All was fine for a short test drive. This morning the light is back and the charge is low. Is there something that could be "eating" alternators? Or maybe got a bad replacement?

I think all my cables are clean and tight. I give them the once over every oil change. After having to put two batteries on while out of town I got kinda picky about the cables . I'll double check the output wire and both plugs and if all of them are tight I'll pull it today(once it dries out a bit) and run it back for a check. Film at 11. Thanks all!
