ok So votage regulator went in my truck. Results, battery fried and acid boiled off, all running lights blown. just picked up a new voltage regulator, and dosnt really look like the old one. Is this normal? and is the old plug (as I remember it is a circle plug, but never removed it to check the connection ) the same as the new triangle plug, I would just go check but my truck is at my friends shop a few towns over.

Ok so im an idiot, and so are a few people I know, we thought the ignition mod was the voltage regulator. but it was just hidden on the fire wall under mud..... new question, can a voltage regulator fry my alternator? cause I went and replaced the volt reg, and put a new (used) battery in it. and jumped it and drove it a few miles to its new resting spot no problem, but as soon as I turned it off. as dead as a door knob. thanks all

It's possible for the alternator to get killed by a malfunctioning regulator but it's probably just as possible for a bad alternator to kill the regulator. Also, if you haven't already bypassed the Ammeter gauge, it's a good idea as they can also cause a lot of charging system problems.
