Something is wrong with the voltage regulator if it's outputting 19 volts without you wanting it to. I would send it back before it screws up your vehicle's computer(if that's your only alternator) and/or your batteries. Only kind of batteries that should see 19 volt is 16 volt batteries and that's still pretty high.

you cant assume the regulator is broken.. if he has a control on it chances are he tuned it too high.. lets see if he replies about using a VCM or anything like it

No voltage adjuster just the clip from the Oval 4 pin to the alt which was pretty much the same wire, it did however have the blue wire doubled and a long piece wrapped up but I left it alone. I looked online and from what I could find that was the ignition wire? I tried taking the clip out and just using the stock plug but it was still around 18.8

sounds like the regulator has a problem.. i doubt it though because they test the alts before getting out the door and by the way the box should say the voltage it was running when they test it
