Ok. So this is what's been going on..
Firstly ,let me say,I'm not a mechanic.
I am able to do things and have a basic understanding,and can learn.
The issue has been my nox would die overnight, occasionally so I'd jump-start with a jump box,and it would be fine..so I figured the alternator was going out.
Months later my battery died overnight,and I decided to get a battery. The guy goes to put it in,and reverses the polarity.so of course sparks,and the horn blew three times..I go ahead and take the battery out,and check/change all my fuses etc..battery goes in..starts up,runs fine,until.the battery dies...so I get an alternator,put it in,hook it up charge the battery,starts up..success...until that damn battery light shows it's face.and it will run til the battery dies..so I pay a mechanic...this peach of a human charges me to fix the truck..I have him the money when he said it was finished..go pick up my nox..hoping I can go to work...and as soon as it starts battery light .charging system warning..as well as the power steering warning,and that's out too .I don't even makemitnhome,thinking maybe he knows better than I do,because I'm just a tattoo artist.it dies.i get a jump...it dies in less than a minute.
I charge battery to full,light goes off..drive it ten minutes home..by the time I make it back it dies and light is on..there's been two alternators put it..one used this current one Is new.the mechanic guy is intentionally dragging his feet on repairing the issue,which he says is the inline fuse near the alt...and he ordered the part..a month ago..but I'm not so sure he has a clue.i haven't been able to drive in over a month,and I'm getting close to this truck being repossessed,because I've dumped what I had into trying to fix ,and tow this thing from one place to the next.im not sure if anyone has definitive answers,but I hope I can get a hand with this..I appreciate it,and anyone's time..
This is the fuse he cut out
