You should thoroughly clean all your electrical connections. Make sure your R/R is grounded directly to the negative battery terminal. A stator should last more than 2/3 years.

will check wiring again,definetely check r/r

In addition to making sure you have a battery ground add a frame ground to the R/R (-). Also make sure that you pass the tests in the revised stator pages. Specifically test the voltage drops in steps #2 and #3 of Phase A.
