Thread: 10SI voltage regulator fails repeatedly

I know that problem

I've been working on this post for the last couple of days in between other things I needed to take care of so sorry for the late reply. Long posts can be a pain to read so I'll do a quick synopsis in this post and follow it with the detailed one so you can draw your own conclusions if you want to wade thru the longer one.

As quick as the regulator went out this time I think would probably be a bit suspicious of the battery.

and

As 36 sedan indicated "........The regulator is not operating/sensing correctly causing a high output voltage (15+ volts is too much)........" is also a prime suspect.

I think you may find the real problem you are fighting are crappy regulators and good luck finding a quality regulator either on the shelf to put in or in a rebuilt alternator.
