Bad alternator. Loose/corroded battery/alternator connections. Disconnect the negative battery cable and let it set for 30 minutes. Check alternator output. Should see 13-14 volts at the battery terminals with the engine running. None of this was happening before the change correct?

Update 2001 GC Sport strange problem
First off thanks for the suggestions. I have checked the connections, they checked good and voltage from the alternator is correct. Here is a more detailed list of the symptoms.
Starts and idles normally gauges and turn signals function normally.
When under driving load van has no or loses power when accelerating or going up hill.
While driving if I turn on the directional or four-ways dashboard gauges stop functioning and dashboard goes black/blank.
Sometimes a slight smell of fuel.
This was not happening before the alternator was replaced.
Any and all help will be appreciated.
