Alternator problems

I got a 2003 6.0 with a alternator issue. About a month ago my battery light came on and went and had the alternator tested and they said it was bad and replaced it. Everything was working perfect until today. Driving down the road like normal and the battery light came on again. I turned my lights off, radio off, and unplugged my gps and shortly the light went off. I tried turning my radio back on and the light came on once again and went back off after turning the radio off. Any suggestions or possible just another bad alternator??

reman alternators are a big joke. there are som many bad one around I would not be surprised to see it 2x in a row.
on a side note powersteering pumps are not much better.

I was having to charge my battery's about once a week and my alt. was only putting out about 13.2 amps.
On Friday I put one a new high output unit and it is running GREAT. the truck is even liking the extra power.
