Probably just a dealer fix, performing the "wiring fix" outlined by GoldenTour (IIRC).
Search for his how-to.. Tony2005 has posted the link to that how-to many many times, even recently (one month?)
re-wires the small reference wire from the alternator, etc.

I was hoping it was something else. I've seen that fix many times and I do not think it applies to me.

LOL. Yes, you did. Just one day before I posted that it should have been stickied. And there it was. I guess I should read the updated FAQs every now and then. 
Rawburt, what makes you think your issue is not the same?

Because that problem seems to represent a battery light issue at low RPM and a flickering issue (which i seem to have). My problem I am concerned about is a battery light coming on at HIGH RPM that trashes out my alternator, or so I think. So far, battery light has represented bad alternator. AND, means I have done 3 alternator swaps in 3 weeks

Maybe time for a new alternator from Ford. (not remanufactured, not aftemarket).
