Sounds like an alt not charging but you did replace it you said. I would still check the voltage at the alt to make sure you have proper charging volts.
Clean all your grounds and load test your battery even if its new. I've bought 3 brand new batteries before that were bad from the start.
I would get a fuel pressure gauge and monitor your fuel pressure as you drive and as it dies.

It?s not shutting down right away, right after I changed the alternator I let it idle for about 45 minutes only thing I heard was a small clunk once and the idle dipped for like 2 seconds and went back up, when I can get a multimeter I?ll check it but I can?t anytime soon with college and shit, I?ll look at the grounds but one thing I want to check is the fender harness? I don?t know if that would have anything to do with it since the whole thing with my buddy not removing the cables but I?ll check that out. Someone I talked to said it could have possibly been fuel pump but I?d rather have the ?experts? tell me if it?s a possibility, I did check all the connections on the alternator and they do seem to be firmly tight but not overly tight. I?ll probably download the FSM and go over all the grounds when I can
