Voltage regulator upgrade? Keep frying voltage regulators with swap
Not all Denso alternators are the same. The ones that bolt to the new Hemis are externally regulated via the ecu.
Wade try a 80's Dodge pickup regulator. And maybe a Echlin Napa brand?
WrongI'm pretty sure that you have a denso alternator... which model is it? the newer Chrysler cars had densos. denso comes in a 160 amp size...
those are self regulated with a sense wire. they do not use an external voltage regulator....

basically, one wire goes to the battery (the big one) they have a ground, the sense wire senses the voltage wherever you connect it and the alternator adjusts itself to make the sensed spot have the right voltage. sometimes they have a L wire which is for a charging indicator light. the Ig should get powered when your ignition is on, this enables the alternator.
