I'd hook up another volt meter to the battery and see how it compares with the stock volt meter. Chances are your stock volt meter isn't reading right or there is a problem with your alternator.

Thank you but we did checked the volts at the battery with a multimeter and was doing what the gauge showed he has already replaced the alt with no change does the same thing.
