1G Hardwired Alternator keeps burning regulators

[GSTurbo1]

Ok guys,

We could not figure out why my alt. was not charging, took it off and got it tested and guys at the alt said it was near brand new and worked fine. We could not find any problems in the wiring so we decided to hardwire it. The guys at the alt. shop installed a regulator on the alternator. I have had this done twice but the regulator does not last more than a week then quits charging. we hook the on switch into the radio ignition, jump the other plug into the hot wire on the alternator, then run the old hot wire from the hot terminal. Should I just not use the old wiring harness? Maybe it has a short in it that is killing the regulator?

Check the wiring again go back to stock if you have a wiring issue thats a bad thing, sort that ouit first, check for bad grounds and continuity.

theres so much aftermarket wiring, it would take forever to sort through all of it.

Go with a 1-Wire alternator and you wont have to worry about all the extra wiring. It will help rule out other issues now and later on in the future as well.imo
