I'd check all your wire connections first. Especially your battery terminals. Make sure they are clean and making good contacts. Also, check your grounds and your alternator terminals.

Just to start anyways.

thanks for the advise, i swapped batts with my buddies car that we were jumping the duece from and it worked fine under load and recharged like a champ. so i went and got a yellow top to solve that problem.
