Excellent post Schurkey. Well said!

The only thing I would add to an excellent post is I always test the wires at the regulator plug and alternator with a test light. The regulator plug when unplugged should have two hot wires with the key on. They will be right next to each other and the one on the end of the plug, should be the one getting hot from the key[alt/gen light], the second one in should be hot all the time. I double check the wires at the alternator if it still does not charge when full fielding. And of course, that the battery wire at the alternator is hot when the engine is off.
