Sorry to hear about all your trouble. I do know this from experiance on a 83 T/A I used to own. A alternator is designed to keep a charged battery charged or maintained ,if the battery shorts out this will cause the alternator to run wide open which generaly burns up the regulator sticking it to full voltage. Hell I had to drive home one day with everything on and I still had almost 17.5 volts. Why the battery is shorting out is what I would be trying to fing out. Hope you find the root cause of your problems
