what amperage alternator did you replace it with? there are two to choose from and your 9000 calls for the 115 amp. If you put in the lower amp alternator, then about now it will be dying. Went thru this myself as I trusted the auto parts store to know the difference(which they didn't)
Also your battery should charge a minimum of 500 amps. A 650 is a good replacement. 9000s traditionally run with a very hot battery and therefore the battery has to be in top notch shape charge wise to last
