The relays i have no way of checking them oh pretty sure all fuses are in cab by driver side door correct?And none of the fuses blew i dont even get a hood light with new battery an alternator iwas so stupid for not disconnecting the battery firt

To late to worry about it now Mike check this...under the battery...mounted to the core support...Power distribution box. It's a 12 or 16 gauge fusible link (blue color) 1997? that's built into the power wire of the alt. Follow the wire to wherever it leads (either the bat, starter relay, or power junction block).
Its a green wire on my truck idid find it it connects to the battery an alternator just change that an it should work
Its like $40 if i buy the possitive side should fix the issue or would i need to buy the negive side too
