By the way, I had a problem with my truck years ago with a fuse in the engine bay panel that kept blowing and keeping me from starting my truck. A ford mechanic spent three hours ( or that's what they charged me) and found a wire that had rubbed bare and was grounding out on my block causing the short. Some of the wire issues might not be obvious. Another thing you might do is check to see if all the wires are actually there and not disconnected and hanging. You might not realize your missing a wire to the alternator or something.

Assuming they both work right, you must have an open circuit somewhere that is not letting your battery charge. Or I suppose a crossed circuit. I would check for codes first ( learned that from everybody on this site), have the alternator and battery checked again by someone you feel that knows what their doing in case of damage, check your fuses and relays in the engine compartment, and last but not least trace wiring to these locations. And if all else fails, you can probably find an electrician with more than a basic understanding of electricity that can probably tell you what the problem is.
I had the alternator and battery tested, and had my dad under the hood for 2 days who is a licensed electrician. I hired a guy to come over and look at it, and I will tell you guys what he says. Thanks for the advice by the way

The guy came over, said all the alternators from Advanced were bad, so I went to a different store with more expensive alternators, and guess what? It STILL doesnt work. Ive had an electrician look at it, all of the wiring and ground is all good. Now my gauges arnt working, the battery meter useto work and tell me that it was slowly dying, and now it just stays over half way.

Im not sure what to do guys, Ive done everything yall told me to do...
