Re: What did you do to your truck today!

My truck had a new looking alternator and regulator when I got it. However, I was "boiling the battery" and puking water/acid. Instead of dropping $26 on a regulator and hoping to fix it, I decided to just upgrade the alternator. I think it was quicker swapping out the alternator than changing the regulator, too.

Between yesterday and today, I put about 350 miles on the truck. Running good so far, and putting out a nice, steady 14.5-14.6 volts.

I upgraded my other 67 to a HEI, but not sure if I'm going to on this. Hoping the points last until I can do my LS swap in the spring.
