What is the BROWN Alternator Wire for?

Tons of good info in this thread. Where does one get an internal regulator for an alternator?

Wow I started this thread five years ago! So what year is your truck and what alternator do you have cause as Greg64 pointed out in post #7 above the Delco 10SI and 12SI already have them built in.

Ive upgraded my alternator to a 105 amp and it works fine. I just never saw internal regulators listed or sold in auto parts. If/when mine eventually fails, I'd be interested in just installing a new regulator.

Oh, I'm not sure they do that I don't think they sell rebuild kits these days I may be wrong, so you would probably trade yours in for a core charge and have to buy a new one or a refurbished one, that's my guess and observation over the last 20 years or so
