In you post you said the regulator passed, therefore it is internal. That 1540 is a little high as far as I am concerned.
What year is the truck?

Nope. That's not the problem.OK I went to the zone to get a new alternator and the one that I took off is a 100 amp. I bought a 65 amp. Could the faCT that the one I took off being a 100 amp be causing all my problems
Either this guy is clueless or he lied to you so that you would do just this.No sir the guy at the zone told me that 100 amp would cause it to over charge so I just bought a new one
Another clueless or liar here.OK I took it to the big o and they checked it. 13.50 low 14.69 actual and 1540 high
Diod trio passed
Regulator passed
Rectifier passed
Here's the proof from my last response. If it has an external regulator, then they couldn't have possibly tested it. Since they couldn't have tested it, there's NO WAY that it could have passed.Well just read a sticker on the new alternator says that it has an external regulator
They couldnt even tell me if it was internally regulatedNope. That's not the problem.

The thing about amps vs. overcharging is that the regulator is what controls the output of the alternator. You could have a 20,000 amp alternator and as long as the regulator's in good shape, then it will not overcharge your alternator.
