alternaor delima

so i'm pretty sure that my alternaor took a dump since it's putting less than 12 volts out to the battery. so i was wondering if i should just stay with the original external regulator setup or go to a one wire system.

That's all up to you & what you want from your truck. If you want original you know what way to go. If all original is not important I would definitely upgrade.

It depends on your needs. If stock worked well, stay with that.

If you plan for electric fans, killer sound system, and power everything, it's time to upgrade

been pondering on it all day and i think i will stay with the stock one for now as the truck is still all original and doesn't have any need for a more modern charging system. maybe one day down the road when i decide to do some more modern upgrades on the truck. plus original style is alot more cheaper. thanks for your input guys.

well i replaced the the alternator and the regulator since it was the original one to the truck. i ended up getting a 65 amp alternator and voltage regulator from o'rilley autoparts with liftime warrenty for only $68 for the pair. the alternator was their ultima brand and regulator was the BWD select. the charging system is now @ 13.8v with the head lights on highbeam @ idle.
