They or somebody needs to build in more protection into the regulator light
line and be sure your running a 161 Battery light.

I've got no good solution but I've experienced the same problem with the
regulator. I
got a 136 Amp alternator, a sterdy thing, but I've busted two regulators in
it of no
aparent reason. Right now I'm using my old Motorola. I'll give the 136 Amp a
new try
in a couple of weeks. I can keep you posted on the progress, I am a bit
worried my
self.
