Voltage regulator problems on 1985 dodge Pick-up?
I have a 1985 Dodge pickup that keeps eating up the voltage regulators, put one on last night and it was gone this morning about 8 miles down the road. I had to put 2 battries in it so it keep up to the stereo, but when I put the new one in I did not use the stereo at all so I know that the is not the problem, When I hooked up the second battery I just connected it's positive to the first ones positve, and ground both of them to the engine block, I have had this problem even before I had to add second battery, any info would be greatly appreciated as I am getting frustrated with it now.
First Id make sure you have a full 12 volts or higher going to the regulator. Any voltage drops will cause a component to go out prematurely. Once your voltages and grounds are confirmed, Id look for part quality issues. Are you buying quality parts? If youre buying from Autozone, get the best brand. You mention replacing batteries. Test your vehicle for a battery drain. Get your volt/ohm/amp meter and set it on amperage. Disconnect the negative terminal on your battery but dont break the contact. With both your meter leads, complete the circuit from the battery to the terminal and the remove the terminal from the battery. You should then see on your meter the drain on your battery in amperage. Anything above .03 amps and above is excessive. Also, try fully charging your battery before starting the truck up on the new regulator. Check your terminals for weak or loose connections. Good luck!
