I just put a new altornator on my 94 dodge ram2500 it still is not charging
would it be the voltage regulator and if so where is it located?

If this fuse blows, the alternators charge wire, (the biggest wire on the alt), is not hooked in to the trucks electrical system. In reality, the truck is running strickly from the batterires.
Your truck alt is makin juice. The link that brings it all together has melted. Easy fix.
Good luck with your ride.

I had the exact same problem. My alternator caught on fire and shorted out the whole electrical system. Luckily it blew the 140 amp fuse and did no damage (other than the alternator). I did not know about the fuse until 2 days after installing the new alternator and finding out that the system was not charging.
I also heard from a friend that works at a Dodge dealership that some people blow that fuse by changing the oil. If you use a filter wrench, it is very easy to ground out that wire on the terminal located on the alternator.
Don't try to find it at a local auto parts store or the internet. I could only find it from the dealer.
