    I'd still go with the voltage regulator idea, especially if the year-old 
    in there now is an aftermarket product. Mine died, same symptoms, on the 
    way to a Kansas City MBCoupes Fest a few years ago, and I almost missed 
    the opening Captain Morgan's!

    The alternator itself is darned near indestructible.
