Regulator died in my large case, been audio-less for over a month now. Soldering new regulator today and putting the large case back in. Werk werk werk

In all seriousness, I was hoping it would ship fast so I could drop it in, but theyre a bit backlogged.
I just asked Mechman to modify my order for a 1-wire alt so I can maintain voltage above 14V. I found out (via testing) that the battery light is not tied to the OBD system, so I should still be able to get state inspection.
And when the 320A hairpin arrives in a couple weeks, it will be swapped in

Found out the 2-pin-plug wires that connect to the alt regulator had been pulled out of their connector potting. GM didnt put a stress cone on those leads.
Running the alt self-exciting (13.5-13.8V) right now with no problems. A simple goddamn 18ga wire ruined 2 regulators. The intermittent connection was signaling the regs on and off, quickly frying them.
