Solid state voltage regulators
Anybody replaced the mechanical voltage regulator with an electronic one? I’ve seen A Motorcraft for 50 bucks and an AC Delco for 25 bucks. Looks like they are plug in replacements but thought I would seek the sage advice here.
Thanks

Here is a good deal if you want cheap and made in the USA. All of the new Motorcraft's are made in Mexico.

If you haven't done it already you need to disconnect those two rectangular plugs that come thru the cowl beside the e-brake cable and clean all the connections. Everything going on outside the cab passes thru those connectors. They may not come apart without a fight if they have turned green inside.

I replaced mine with SS three years ago. The original style I bought from a parts supplier went bad very quick. Anyway, the old voltage regulator cover fits right on in case you are into how it looks.
Do it.
