Is your voltage regulator in your alternator or seperate and did you replace it?

Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Charging System with wild fluctuations.

I have a 1980 FC 33 Diesel that has suddenly developed wild charging fluctuations. The Volt Meter will fluctuate between 10-14 volts very violently and increase with engine speed. After about 20 minutes the fluctuation slows but shows a discharge on the AMP meter. I rebuilt the alternator with same results. Anyone with experience or comments would be appreciated.
