Don't mistake alternator with starter. Probably just a typing error but to make sure, the starter is low below attached near the gearbox that engages the flywheel.

These heavy diesels pull alot of amps for startup. In cold it's far higher. Corroded earth in wiring harness is not unheard of. Mine was getting harder to start. Then just clicking from starter motor. I also saw dash clocks doing strange things. All gear lights lit up. Id already fitted new battery. Dawned on me the earth might be problem so tried jumper cable from negative on battery to starter motor bolt. Dash lights and gear selection lights behaved instantly and car started first turn. I'd add I did usaul checking existing earth was tight and battery terminals where tight. Battery seems to charge alot better now. And yes bad earth can cause cut out while running. And super easy and cheap to try. I need to figure how to post pic It might not totally solve everthing but help getting descent power to starter motor.
