adjustable voltage regulator
I have a 1978 F250 trailer special with a dual battery setup. The stock regulator is not easily adjustable, in fact, it's a real pain. Due to the battery isolator, I need to charge the batteries at a slightly higher voltage than normal. Do any of you know if there is an after market externally adjustable regulator available for this year truck? Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!

Well, the VR's from the 60's were adjustible but,I wouldn't fool with the systemn is in place.
I have a B/I and I don't have any problems.
How about the size of the wire you are using from the isolator,is it big enough ?

Dennis - I am using 4 guage wire to the camper. I only need a charge voltage of 14.5 volts, but the replacement regulators seem to be adjusted for about 13.9 volts. I have used 14.5 volts in the past with no battery boil-over problems. Thank you all for your suggestions - I think I will stay with the regulator I currently have and hope it holds its adjustment.
