[DK on the road]

Ok advice from an authorized distributor, "The voltage regulator is solid state, it works or it doesn't. He suggest bringing my alternator down and having him bench test it. He thinks it may be a Diode or something that is effected by heat. I'm driving again tomorrow. I'll take it off at my new location and have a shop bench test it there. He has a used regulator that I could throw at it but I'll do the testing first.

To be continued..
