To each his own. I prefer the Mopar stuff. I can understand where you are coming from. I never have any problem with the mopar stuff as long as I keep good connections and clean grounds. I have had dash problem but that is not related to the altonator. I do find that most parts stores will have the mopar altonators and regualtors where they might not have the toyota altonator as they is usually three or four different ones that they run in the same year.

Yes, it costs more, but the regulator is included. To me it is worth
the added money for the extra power, especially at idle. I plan on
adding A/C and power seats, and will just feel better about it.
Remember, I am no mechanic. However,the one thing I hate is an
electrical problem. I am about to rewire my car, and I see four
weaknesses that I'd like to update with modern equipment:

1. Instrument panel voltage regulator
2. Points-style ignition
3. Low-powered alternator
4. Old-style alternator voltage regulator

Number one is handled on our website's tech page.Number two can be
handled any number of ways, as can number three. Number four can be
done by upgrading to a modern Mopar unit.

Now, I like to minimize/eliminate parts, if for no other reason than to
clean up my engine bay, which I am picky about, sadly! By using an HEI
controller I can route it inside the car, and eliminate the Mopar
control box and ballast resistor. It's probably not as good as Ma
Mopar's approach, but this is ideal for my simple street car. The
Toyota alternator takes care of number three and four in one fell swoop,
also eliminating another item from my firewall.

Of course, there is no need for any of this, and there are pros and cons
to the various approaches. I've given it a lot of thought and research,
and these methods are right for what I want to do with my car. I'm just
passing along what I've discovered, in case any of our members is
pondering these things like me!

Thank you, and I welcome any and all corrections.
