1990 7.3 problems

Well everyone 30 to 40 days ago I replaced both my batteries and my alternator. This Morning truck was dead after about a 10 second starting attempt. Not sure what to look for. I'm in school for a few more hours today so can't check things out imeditaly but if you have any ideas please let me know

Hi there. Went to visit my parents and havent been able to get back to the truck u til yesterday. I got a voltmeter a ran through the fuses, i then checked the alternator, and then i was told that my problem must be the voltage regulator. Every video i see is a gas truck and the voltage meter is attached to the alternator. I dont believe that mine is. Can anyone help me get on the right track?
