New external regulator
I need some help. I'm having fits.
I had a whine in my truck after installing a new alternator. It is externaly regulated. Wired it up just like the diagram. See pictures. I isolated the whine to my voltage regulator. Ok, bought new one. And watched it closely as I cranked up the truck. It started to smoke. Now I'm guessing it will burn up and begin to whine just like the old one did. What have I done??!! The alternator i got is a powermaster 60 amp. Do I need a higher amp regulator? Is it that simple? Now if I unhook the white/blue pigtail from the alternator the regulator stops smoking. I think it also stops working. But I don't know. I ran the truck for a few days and my battery went dead. Thats why I think its not working. Does anyone have any ideas? See pictures for reference.
