Ok... followup time...
After calling and chatting with @74M35A2 to ensure I wasn't messing up, I disconnected both wires from the alternator and connected a jumper cable from the "hot" of the alternator to the top post of my starter, removing the PCBs and rest of the truck from the equation...
I'll do that in the am. Too dark and cold to fool with it right now.
So if that's the issue, I'll show proper voltage at the batteries and guage, correct?
The only problem there is I took the diodes out when I rebuilt the PCB. I didn't have this issue before replacing the alternator.
Hmm... if I had accidentally hooked up backward, it should be REALLY anxious really quickly, right? As I stated, I had a good ground from the ground lug on the...

Regarding history of my truck, I posted a pic on a local custom truck forum and had a member from right down the road reach out to me and informed me he was in the unit the truck was assigned to and rode in it in Iraq many times...
If the front axle isn't engaged then there's no sync with the back axles that need to occur. For instance, if you're spinning your rear tires (which would be a bad thing, but awesome to see) and your front axle is not engaged, no biggie. If your t case is engaged and that occurs and you don't...
