Default Charging system not working

I need some help. I just replaced my battery cables on my 2006 Dodge 2500 5.9 diesel and my alternator isn't charging. Everything was working fine until I did this. What am I missing?

How old is the alternator? Could be time to change that too.

Was the new cable identical in every way? Is the alternator plug fully clicked in? Is the relay inserted? Any fuses blown?
