Its in the PCM but you can wire in an external voltage regulator.

What kind of problems are you having?

We need voltage numbers from the battery terminals.

The alternator and voltage regulator should be good then.

Weird. Check all your body/frame grounds. Clean all the mounting points. I think there are 7 or 8.
