Guys-
My radar detector is screaming "High Voltage." It goes up and stays up for a few seconds or mins then backs down. I usually raise the demand with my subwoofer and headlights to try and keep things from frying.
Have there been any breakthroughs in the last four years? I'd rather not replace the whole alternator. I've already got one "on the shelf" that is a brand new Napa unit that fried the reg after one week. So I guess I would buy two sets of parts.

You could just rebuilt the alternator and make it a 220amp.

That is the only site I could find in my bookmarks but I know we had a thread on rebuilding alternators.
