voltage regulator woes
 

Got a 93 2wd dually that has wiped out 3 regulators in less than a week. 1st one stopped charging last 2 overcharging. ( it has external now). I have it mounted on good ground and even have ground strap from batt to regulator. All 3 have been chinese autozone crap. I have dual gell cell bats and 1 started smoking.

Is there anything to look for or am i gonna have to put my chevy alternator on it and ditch the chrysler crap?

3rd regulator lasted bout 15 miles.

any specific brands better than others?

The "Chrysler crap" on my 1st Gen is original factory (now what, 18 years old?) and never a problem. I think you have some wiring issues. OTOH, you could install the Chebby piece, re-do all the wiring and solve the problem that way. Same result. :w2:

Got her fixed:jump:. Just went to autozone and pissed and moaned enough to get my money back. Tried 4 of them. None lasted more than 10 miles. Went to oriley and bought one that had epoxy paint on it, even weighed more. Now I got 800 miles on it and rock steady 14.3v.... No wiring problem no retrofit. Just a better part. :c:
