That setup should not be killing the alternator. Testing the output of the alternator would be the first step to see if a new one is needed. If the alternator is beginning to fail, a capacitor will not help since it still draws voltage to "fill". PM me when you get a chance since I am in NJ and may be able to lend a hand.
