^^Very cool! Never read about that before. Chrysler has always been at the forefront of innovation.

 

yes it is

 

So I practically did the "DIY external regulator" step by step for my alternator... After not getting a good ground on my regulator case- wow that pissed me off.

Regulator/alternator jumped right to 17.5v and boiled my battery over in the time that I could hit the key and walk around the door... I jumped back and hit my fuel switch, well see if it was too late for it or not. I lost a few fluid ounces, I caught it with a towel before it dripped on my power steering hoses. I re grounded the regulator and it appears to be working now....

I have been a walking human error throughout the whole swap

 

Step away from the beer!

 

that sucks but it teaches me how important it is to get that voltage regulator a good ground if i ever have to change mine.

now if it makes you feel better i drove around with the positive wire from my alternator disconnected from the battery and touching a piece of metal that was grounded. by the time i realized it the wire was fairly hot but no damage done.

 

I second!

 

Hahahaha no doubt!!! I wouldn't make a very good mechanic on an hourly wage most nights

 

you wouldn't make it good in any hourly occupation sorry to say, unless you are billing $200/hr... :P

 

I only charge $75 an hour for consulting work...maybe I should consider charging more!



Moochoff, good work. It is always the little things finishing up on a project that seem to create the most frustration. You will get it all correct!

 

What sort of consulting??
