Good evening!

Is this box a voltage regulator? And if so, do I need to keep this if I'm going to use a 3G alternator?

Thanks very much!

Hey KaptnKA

S thanks for replying!

If the 3G has an internal regulator that might simplify things a little bit (one less thing to keep track of).

Thanks again,
Robroy

Yes, the 3G is internally regulated.

No, you do not need the piece in your hand if you are using the 3G. Just make sure you keep track of the wiring becasue you are going to want to connect the 3G to the greeen/red stripe wire....

hth,

Hey Eric, thanks! That's great news. I'll make sure I keep an eye out for that special wire.

Thanks again,
Robroy
