You might drive it to a parts store. Most of them test batteries and alternators for no charge.
CALL THEM AND ASK.

Can the stator cause the alternator to get too hot
I would be checking the max out put allowed by the regulator
If the regulator is faulty then there will be uncontrolled current being produced and that will over heat the alternator
check for circuit requirements to see if there is a unit drawing more current than it should ( shorting)

Trying to replace the alternator from a 2005 Chevy Silverado -2500.
You've disconnected the serpentine belt? It SHOULD come out now - you've done everything necessary. You may have to pry it out with a large screwdriver or a small pry bar. It may be challenging getting the new one in, but with the old one out you may be able to spot something else that needed to be adjusted a little for a better fit.
Oh, wait. On SOME Delco alternators, there's a third bolt on the rear of the case where a brace can be bolted to it. Check that.

Why my alternator overcharging
There is also a voltage regulator. old cars have mechanical, but for more than 20 years they are electronic.
Test the whole charging circuit, the dynamo, AC or DC. if it is a modern AC, test the rectifiers and voltage regulator.

Can't remove the plug from the alternator on my 98 Toyota Avalon
Yeah. its one of those snap-on nasty nylon jobs. there's a tool for that. Don't use a pair of big pliers and that humungous flathead screwdriver. The nylon may be too old and brittle. auto parts stores sell them. omes with age.
