<VV> alternator replacement II

[J R Read]

Lon,  I did not see the AD, sorry.

Are we talking internal or external voltage regulator?  The one bad report 
that I had was on internal regulated alternators and I was checking to see 
if that was more or less a one person opinion or a consensus opinion.

Both of my Vairs have higher (than 37amp) output alternators.  One has 
external and the other internal regulator.  I've replaced one alternator on 
each, so my personal experience would tell me that there is no significant 
difference in longevity.

Seems like, from most  of the responses, there is a large majority that 
would agree on that.

Later, JR
