Started with Battery not charging

Greeting.. I have a 1999 VDP 4.0 ltr. Got it out of a persons back yard. Did some simple repairs and it was running fine. Now I have a Light that says: Battery not charging. So I looked into the forum and found some good information. Replaced the tensioners and put on a new belt. I checked that battery while the unit was not running. It came out to 14.6 volts plus. So then I went and checked it with the engine running... 15.7volts. Next I stressed tested it and found that the voltage was not as good as it was suppose to be, radio cut out. So I was going to replace the alternator. However, now I see the Gearbox error light on. Also the Shifter is locked up and will not come out of park. And to top all that off the ABS light just popped up.
I have to start wondering if this is not so much the alternator as somthing else. I do have a bad plug and coil that I was going to replace. The code shows it is miss firing....
Im at a bit of a stopping point.. I really do not know what to do next.. or If I should just bit the bullet and put it into the shop... Any and all suggestions for this issue would be appreciated.
