Ok, we have established 2 things so far, the diodes get hot, and the amperage output is low, that is 2 strikes against a faulty alternator.

Let me throw another idea in here.
I had a truck that the battery would go down in.
I changed the battery and the Alt.
Still didn't fix the problem. What fixed it was replacing the Starter. I guess that the starter was shorted and/or was draining the battery when trying to start it. Every once in a while it would drag like a low battery but most of the time it just clicked or did nothing.
