Oh that's not good, especially as I have one of those fitted to the Challenger that I bought from you Matt!

I will turn the stereo up some more.

To see what can be done to stop failure ?

I gave up on Mopar style alternators and regulators years ago when the failure rate for new components seemed to have gone through the roof.

Just a heads up on the cheap imports.

Next for your viewing pleasure.

Polyloc engine mounts . $240 USD . Probably best not to bother. The other side was worse than this one.
