There is little value in using an ohmmeter to check for continuity on high amperage circuits. Even if only one strand of wire in the circuit makes a connection, the ohmmeter will read zero resistance

Make sure neither of your batteries have an internal shorted cell. That is what caused my alternator to get smokin hot. I changed the batteries and the alternator at the same time and all is well. Mos

Got a hot alternator like really hot, smelled it cooking. Looked at a few topic on here, started tracing wires. I previously rebuilt the whole harness-check all wires and re sheathed, tape, etc. My dumb a$$ forgot one wire the ground on the fuse box. Attached pic is what I missed. Is this wire straight to ground/frame? If it is I know which wire I need to use...
Additionally could this mistake cause the hot alternator? Both alternator and batteries are old... alternator I assume to be original, batteries around 5-6 years. Batteries took trickle charge and started truck up fine.
Thank you.
