After working on it for a couple more hours, it has become apparent that I have a HUGE parasitic draw somewhere. The battery is brand new and I am going from 12.7 when running (should be between 13.5 and 14 right?) to 11.85 volts in a matter of 1 to 2 min which causes it to stall. Now bases on my research this is a massive draw, so out I go to start pulling fuses. The alternator appears to be working and I even took it in to O Reillys to double check.
