Check the grey single stator wire plug (white wire) at the top of the alternator. Have one person watch the charging light while the other wiggles it. It is a common problem and the pigtail may need to be replaced.

I've seen new alternators come bad right out of the box.

That's because they keep putting the defective alternators back in the box. I guess they figure at some point maybe somebody will keep it.
