So i got the alternator tested and it passed. I cleaned the terminals and connections and it was fine for a minute but now it won't start again. I did put a light on the GPR and neither of the big posts are hot. I also put it on the relay above the GPR (don't know which relay that is) and same thing. neither of the big posts were hot. I was wondering if any one had any ideas?

just in case anyone has the same problem i figured out what it was tonight after scratching my head for a while. i had fuse wires blow by the relay on the solenoid that is located on the passenger side fender wall. i'm assuming that this was the problem all along and it just was shorting out or something of that nature, but now it starts up great and everything seems to be working fine. Thank you everyone for your input on this subject.
