Installed Bosch voltage regulator.  No Dice.  12.9v battery now 12.5 after 10 minutes running.  Veg system used some so I now say if nothing else is wrong a new alternator is needed.  Is there a fusible link or fuse to check?   No higher than 12.17 while running. Switch on the veg system it goes to 12.7 and loses a 10th of a volt per minute. Something is wrong.  The alternator isn't putting out.  Is there a place to check the alternator output before it goes to the battery?  Lawrence Rhodes

Check the corroded contacts in the terminal block on the top of the passenger fender.  While it is possible for the alternator to fail, it doesn't seem to happen often.
