It HAD to happen today, the last day of Octember!  The Buick betrayed me!  While the problem is fixed, and didn't cost anything, it was no fun almost getting stuck.

I'm going to replace the voltage regulator.  I do not feel this one is working properly.  It acts wonky at times.  While not explained in the video, I did watch the voltage climb on a DMM all the way up to 16VDC before the regulator did something.  I'll replace it and see what happens.  Save the old as a spare.

I'm also not thrilled with the alternator.  While out of the car, the bearings in it sounded, well, crummy.  But of course it's a reman China Pride piece of junk, so what do you expect?
