Standard Ignition Voltage Regulator P/N:VR860
Keep your charging system's output voltage in check with the Standard T-Series VR166T Voltage Regulator, which controls the voltage the charging system sends to the battery and electrical circuits. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1975-1992 Ford F-150 4.9L / 5.0L / 5.8L / 5.9L / 6.4L / 6.6L / 6.9L / 7.5L, 1963-1992 Ford F-250 3.6L / 3.9L / 4.3L / 4.8L / 4.9L / 5.0L / 5.4L / 5.8L / 5.9L / 6.4L / 6.6L / 6.9L / 7.3L / 7.5L and 1964-1973 Ford Mustang 2.3L / 2.8L / 3.3L / 3.8L / 4.1L / 4.2L / 4.3L / 4.7L / 5.0L / 5.8L / 6.4L / 7.0L. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
A voltage regulator limits the charging system's output. This lets the battery charge without being overcharged and gives the electrical system a steady supply. Signs this part may need replacing include dim or flickering lights, a battery that keeps running down, a battery that seems overcharged, or a lit charging warning indicator. These symptoms can also come from the battery, the wiring or the charging unit itself, so test the charging system before replacing the regulator. If a failed regulator is the cause, the VR166T replaces it.
What does the Standard T-Series VR166T voltage regulator do?
It controls the charging system's output voltage. This lets the battery charge without being overcharged and gives the electrical system a steady supply.
Can I use the VR166T as a 1975-1992 Ford F-150 voltage regulator on the 4.9L / 5.0L / 5.8L / 5.9L / 6.4L / 6.6L / 6.9L / 7.5L engines?
Yes. It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for those engines, and the "Vehicles it fits" section shows every listed application.
What are signs a voltage regulator may need replacing?
Warning signs include dim or flickering lights, a battery that runs down or seems overcharged, and a charging warning indicator. Test the charging system first, because the battery or wiring can cause the same signs.
How is the VR166T built?
It has a clear finish on the cover for corrosion resistance and a riveted circuit board. It is made from quality components and tested for performance and reliability.
Is there anything to know before installing it?
Disconnect the battery before working on the charging system. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct mounting and wiring connections.
