That's a very critical ground wire! The alternator is mounted on bushings so electrically isolated from the frame of the engine. You need to take the largest guage MULTISTRAND wire you can find, use two or three so that 50A will pass without heating. Frame of the alternator to the engine.
This was my solution and it works well!
The problem is a tricky on to find since the ALT lights go out as normal after starting but if you measure the batterry voltage its only 12.6 (not charging)
