PCM Regulaior Voltage ????

Truck--91.5 d250 ---PCM regulates voltage by switching grd. rapidly. Is this the reasonmy amp gauge(and test light ,on gren wire on the back of alt., ) "BLINKS"??? Would a internal reg fix this problem????.

A 91.5 model has a external regulator. It should be mounted some where on the firewall around #6 valve cover.

yes, some put the 150 amp ir gm alternator, as another alternative look at jims post with leece nevill, I like the easily accessable brushes and regulator, mine pulses at startup, usually from camper battery being down, after a minute of running its normal.
