Hi all...I checked my charging voltage at the battery and it was high. It was almost 16.
So I went to install my spare and the regulator was very hot!! I've never noticed before because I never checked!! Should it be hot? I installed my spare and it allowed a charge rate of 13.4 but it also began to get hot. Hope my alternator isn't bad!! Cheers Mike |

Thanks Brad...I won't worry about it then. Mike Wont worry? 16 volts is too high. You will ruin the battery not to mention the rest of your electrical system. Get a new regulator I think he was talking about his spare which was charging at 13.4V when he said he "won't worry". |
