No charge issues

Seems like all I do here is ask questions in order to remedy the problems I have with my truck. That being said I am having charging problems with my 91.5 intercooled w250. Recently, within the last 2 or so months I was hahaving overcharging issues which with help from this forum I believe I have remedied. Now I am having charging issues, namely no charge. I have replaced both voltage regulator and alternator today to no avail. Anybody have advice as to where I can start to diagnose and remedy this? Thanks...

My CPS failed recently. That resulted in no charging, no ac, and no speedometer. If you have these symptoms I'd check the CPS. My truck is a 93 D250 auto.

His is just before the CPS was introduced.

I would ditch the external voltage regulator and install the transpo internal unit. Very good results across multiple forums. I have one in my 03 Cummins swap truck and it charges steady at 13.9v at idle. I'm still running the baby gasser battery that is 5+ years old too.

If replacing both didn't fix the problem that likely wasn't the problem.

Start with a multimeter & check fusible links, alternator socket connectors, bulkhead connectors, ignition switch, and grounds.
