Is the diode something that I can replace, or would I just replace the internal regulator?
Thanks again!!

You can do either one but until you get it tested you won't know which it is. Your IR can be bad or one of the phase diodes could be shot. I think you would notice more than a 1 volt drop if that was the problem. You have to pull the alternator apart for either one but it is not a difficult job. There are U-Tube videos that are pretty informative. I'll see if I can find one.
This is an AD but I think they are very similar.
