Sounds like your new alternator isn't working. Return it to the place of purchase and they will test it to determine if it's a working one or a dud. Also, fyi, I also did the same on my sport trak and then ended up putting a starter in it as well, only to have the problem of intermittent non starts continue. Still don't know whats wrong, even with repair at shop replacing starter.
