Keep the charging system in check with the Standard Ignition Voltage Regulator VR-142. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1975-1980 Chevrolet LUV with the L4-1.8L engine, restoring proper control over the charging system's output voltage.
A voltage regulator manages the voltage produced by the charging system, holding it within the proper range so the battery charges correctly and the vehicle's electrical components are not fed too much or too little voltage.
Charging control: Regulates charging-system output voltage to a steady operating range.
Electrical protection: Helps guard the battery and electrical accessories from over- or under-charging.
Direct fit: Cataloged for the listed Chevrolet LUV application for a straightforward replacement.
Signs the original regulator may need replacing include a battery that overcharges or fails to charge, dim or flickering lights, or a charging-system warning indication. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the charging system before replacing; if a failed voltage regulator is the cause, this unit replaces it.
Manufacturer part number VR-142.
