Installed cd player in my 59 fleetside and all was well. Now some three months later each time I accelerate it cuts out . I can hear the voltage regulator clicking on and off when this happens. I can also see a visible increase in the brightness of my LED display right before it cuts out. If I just let the truck idle it doesn't happen. Whats up with this.

might need to check the gen/reg for problems, it's likely the regulator chattering is more important than the player behavior - I'd think the player cuts out to protect itself from high/erratic supply voltage

deepweasel,

Great handle..... smile

Bill has the right idea, too much voltage! Your charging system needs to be checked.

Finally fixed my electrical problems. Seem the contacts in my regulator had somehow welded themselves together. New regulator and once again we have no problem, not to mention sound from the speakers. Thanks guys.
