I drove the Mule to work yesterday and low-n-behold, looks like the alternator gave up. It has been a long time since I actually troubleshot one with a separate/external regulator. nothing seems to be coming out below 1500 rpms and what is doesn't seem like much. I didn't get a chance to dive into it once I got home last nitght, so later on I'll figure it out.

Now I got to decide if I should switch over to the internally regulated alternator or just replace this one.

Any of you know what specific internally one is clocked right for the factory driver's side mounting?
