Alternator question....
I have been doing some research on my altie, as well - and find that there are a lot of chrysler vehicles that use the ECU to regulate the voltage from the alternator - so if the voltage reg goes out, you have to replace the ECU.
Does ANYONE here know if this is how OUR alternators are built?

I was reading that it's not uncommon to see spikes, and even ECU codes for a bad alternator / VR if the battery cables are jacked up, or not tight. The cables on this truck look to have been southern-engineered together... I already bought some new batt terminals, and I have a LOT of 4-gauge pwer cable left from a stereo install i helped a friend with, and was planning to just redo those cables myself, using that - and maybe THAT alone will resolve the issue - if not, due to budget constraints, may just take the alt to a local shop and have them repair it for a fraction of the cost of a rebuilt...
