too much power draw??
my 2.3 is kinda my weekend cruiser but occasionally i will make it my d.d. in the summer the car has aftermarket fog lights, an "Ultra" alarm system (not sure what model it was on it when i got it but it doesn't have remote start), and currently installing an electric fan thermostat for the factory fan but i notice my battery gauge drops when i turn the blower motor on. are these after market modifications drawing too much power? it does have new battery

Time to find a more powerful alternator, I don't know of a 3G alternator will work on a 2.3 but that's what most 5.0 guys do when they start adding things that draw juice. I believe they are 130 amp or larger alternators to help with the draws.
