Charging System Issue

[Blessed66]

Some time back, I put a later-model alternator in my truck to correct what I thought was a failing generator issue. I'm using a higher amperage two-pin regulator style GM alternator. I still have an issue with the truck that, as it is running - a click can be heard and then the alternator stops charging.

I was told my best bet would be to ohm the jumper wire from the alternator's 12v power post to the voltage regulator and if it builds up resistance to around the 10k ohm mark just before it shuts off, the regulator and/or diode has failed. One of the fringe benefits of working for a stealership, I suppose, is having a great electrical guy - but I wondered if anyone else has seen this before on the board?
