Alternator is not charging battery. Connections and cables are all good, no voltage drops. Battery holds a charge, checked under load and is fine.

This one has separate alternator and regulator. Anyone know how to check regulator & alternator separately to see which is bad? Alternator is a pain to remove.

Thanks.

Alternator says 'internal' regulator. Stupid question - does internal mean the one that is sold separately is bolted on already?

Have you checked out this article?

The regulator is the squarish grey part fastened to the back of the
alternator with the 4 little bolts in the picture on the second page.
