You shouldn't be going through alternator's like that but it should have nothing to do with having a ECM or not. You may be burning them up because the engine isn't kicking up and putting the alternator under a heavy strain. It's certainly possible. Or something is shorting out somewhere.
Thanks mike! i actually had polar bear help with it, but it refused to seal with a new gasket. Could be bowed maybe from the extreme heat or something. We did the inevitable and tried to seal it with silicone, but i haven't tested it yet because of the rain/lazyness =)
