Did it end up doing the job? Thinking about doing this instead of my whole alternator. |
It did not work. I initially thought I installed the wrong regulator, but in reality I installed the correct one and installed it correctly. The problem turned out to be a cracked bearing housing in the alternator. I had to replace the whole thing. It sucks I did double work, but at least I was able to sell the regulator and get the money for it back. If I could go back I would just have replaced the whole alternator unit since it comes with a new regulator attached anyway. The alternator at that point had done about 100k miles so it was time to be replaced. |
Just read this... my bad. Still have this one if anyone is interested.
