Is the regulator/ rectifier made into the alternator .

Yes, it's exact as the old one. I haven't had any trouble installing mine it's a very tight fit; you'll take some time and work to get it in place. I had to cut and splice the wires because of the plug but odder wise nothing to talk about. Remember, you must replace the 4 rubber bushings.

I had to cut the green wire going to the capacitor to free up and remove old alternator. Do I need to splice that wire onto new alternator?
1832623
I believe that it is... I did not have to add a regulator/rectifier to my system. I did, however add much heavier wiring to the battery from the alternator, and to the accessory panel. They have write- ups on this on goldwingdocs.com

Yes, its all self contained. I haven't had any trouble with mine. The old one had the rectifier outside. I had to cut and splice the wires, I think because of the plug. While you are at it, replace the 4 rubber parts, called bushings maybe. Its a tight fit, you'll have to work at it, adjusting hoses

Dennis, everything is contained in the alternator. There are only two wires to connect. One to connect power to the 12v and the other to turn the alternator on. This alternator has been the best for my GoldWing (with the extra lights). I have a volt meter add on and the voltage never drops below 13.4 (nor above 14). If the one I have ever goes out I will buy another one.

I believe it has a regulator built in and should come with a special cord to charge standard car batteries. However both are very simple and without constant attention and checks could easily damage electronics and batteries alike. I strongly recommend plugging it directly into some sort of additional regulator/battery charger... particularly one with a good warranty. The generator is also not particularly hardy and lacks some basic yet crucial care & maintenance steps common to all generators. Do not use if this is your first generator!

Yes it have the regulator, mine is working for almost 6 years not complaint

Im not quite sure. But if their is anything I can do to help let me know. My regulator is not hooked up right now so I can snap a pic or take a measurement if that helps.

the people who sell these wouldn't answer my questions-they are jerks-I wanted to know the output voltage, they refused to answer my questions. I think it is a 3 phase alternator with all 3 wires hot, and maybe the case is ground. then the controller/rectifier converts to dc. the company that imports these from china just wants to collect the markup, and not warranty or provide customer support-they told me to hire a engineer and they would only talk to him.

No. There are instructions and a diagram on wiring to a standard receptacle inside the RV/Trailer. This is one of the best weather resistant power supply adaptors I've seen

Not certain, the alternators are different on some of the models. If you took out ur alternator and the regulator has the same shape then I can guarantee it would work.

They have a common negative or ground. The positive side is switched through the regulator

No it does not , I have it to keep battery charged on generator without alternator . I had it for over a year and has worked great .

I power mine by using an Anderson Connector directly from the vehicle supply through a regulator and have no problems at all, GW

Most alternators on new vehicles have an integral electronic voltage regulator that requires the use of the 4-stud battery isolator. The small 4th stud is for connection to a circuit switched by the ignition switch. The newer alternators were first introduced by Delco and are therefore sometimes called `Delcotron-type alternators'. A 4-stud battery isolator can be used with older pattern alternators (in this case the 4th stud will remain unconnected), but a 3-stud battery isolator cannot be used with the Delcotron-type alternator.

Yes, Still works great for me. The black plastic isolator on the back where reversed so I had to use my old. So dont get rid of your old alternator befor the new one arrives.

Yes it will check to let you know if the alternator is charging also. This is done by running the vehicle you wish to check.

Yes, it is a direct swap for your Suburban. The case is the same size as the factory high output alternator and the plug is also the same.

NO regulator was required, nor included. Consider this unit as a factory OEM bolt on part that has been significantly upgraded for performance. You will be pleasantly surprised with the results.

Yes, I cut off the two connectors on my 1989 gl1500 & the single connector supplied on the new alternator. Then , spliced the two wires together with a butt connector. I read that there was a difference in bolts that required drilling out the holes in the new alternator .. I didn't have to... it did seem snug .. I just carefully tightened the bolts evenly and it pulled right up .. works great .. I installed a volt meter as well so I will know if the charging system is working .. (it's charging at 14 volts at idle).

I have the same vehicle. It was a direct replacement for the broken factory regulator assembly. Works great in my 2008 Nissan Frontier 2.5.
