I also ordered a couple of new plugs because the wires look pretty bad where they attach. If it wasn't so cold out I probably would have just gone ahead and done the alt wiring mod since my wiring bracket is all cracked up anyway,
Where was your alternator from? and was it reman?

The answers to these questions will tell you why it failed already.
