3g alt voltage regulator Reply #1 – March 14, 2011, 07:27:08 AM You should be able to get a new regulator/brush holder/brushes kit for under $20. Is there a place handy to you that rebuilds starters/alternators? Also, before putting a new reg in take the old one out and have a look at the slip rings on the rotor. They're known to wear out on 3G's. Quote Selected

3g alt voltage regulator Reply #3 – March 14, 2011, 10:31:49 PM the brush holder assy was like 40 or 50 bux at advance.the reg was about 150.00 at advance.I had them check the charge system and of course it checked good...lolI suppose I have to learn the internals on the 3g's and find out whats going on inside em.We dont have a local resource for alt rebuilding or starters, im pretty sure I can figure it out and when i run into a question, ill just have to ask here.
