How does an alternator cause a negative draw on the battery rather than charging it It's a 90 Buick LeSabre 3.8. It produces an output charge during idle but draws on the battery in high rpm driving?
The alternator will not draw power from the battery but the rest of the vehicle systems will. If your alternator is not functioning properly the battery takes the toll.
How do you adjust the idle on a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500?
The idle is not adjustable. It is computer controlled with a idle air control motor that is on the back of the throttle body. If your idle speed is incorrect you either have a computer that has "forgot" how to idle or a sensor issue. You need to have it checked for codes, if no codes you need to reset the computer's memory. You can reset the memory by unhooking the battery for 5 minutes. If it now idles properly you should have the battery tested, a weak battery can cause the computer to "forget" how to idle.
Why won't your battery stay charged?
Defective alternator, dead cell in battery, something on pulling power from the battery when the vehicle is idle, corroded battery cable connections, or loose alternator drive belt.

Idle speed is not adjustable. It is controlled by the engine copmuter. If your idle speed is too high or low you have a problem with a sensor or the idle air controll actuator. Also, a weak battery can cause the idle too be erratic
What are the advantages of alternator over generator?
Higher output for a minimum amount of horse power required to turn it. which means greater efficiency. also more compact. A generator will better charge a badly run down battery due to its lower current output. An alternator will try to charge a battery to fast which may damage the alternator and or battery. It outputs from 13.5 to 15.5 volts at idle, unlike a generator that will not operate at full efficiency at idle.
