    Even if you had a parasitic drain , that would NOT effect the alternator. I don't know what specifically is the issue, but I suspect the alternator's are NOT the problem. You are replacing parts without actually IDENTIFYING the problem.

    Did you notice you said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the symptoms you are attempting to address?

    Where are you getting your alternators from? What type of failure are you experiencing?
