p.j.
I always thought if the ammeter was showing a discharge, then that is what the system was doing. If your battery is fully charged, and you are driving the truck, the lowest the meter would indicate would be 'zero' charge. If it is less than that, your 'amps' bank account is being overdrawn.
Did the system act the same with the other regulator?
It is sometimes recommended to polarize the generator if it has been removed from the truck..this quick procedure certainly couldn't hurt.
