Reply to "Overcharging Issue: Toasted Voltage Regulator?"

ea3528Member

Kahn,

I am replacing all electrical wiring this winter ... from the battery to the solenoid/starter - and also from the ammeter/volt meter to the fuse panel, solenoid and alternator.

In speaking with Jon Haas from Pantera Electronics, he convinced me to replace my stock Motorcraft alternator with the GM si12 model. It was a $90 touch and does not require a voltage regulator. I liked the mod because it simplifies the wiring schematic and also throws more current (regulated) at the battery. This was important to me because I am also adding a stereo, GPS nav and a few more gauges.

Anyway, if you are interested in the specs, please send me your email and I will pass along what I have ...

Cheers,
EA
