Some folks call the solenoid " The Big Boy". FWIW BB wired my coach to charge the house batteries but the pickup for the regulator is connected to the chassis side. When the big boy fails the chassis batteries are not charged causing the alt to overcharge the house batteries. I have had one regulator and two big boys fail in less than a year.

Charlie, the VoltageRegulatorWiringModification.pdf doc I posted above and dated August 2002 shows the sense wire connected to the house (coach as opposed to chassis) batteries. Swapping this over may mitigate some of your problems.

I spent some time today reaching out to Delco Remy and , as luck would have it, I was not the first . so soon this issue will be a thing of the past, and we will once again be able to source this part .

Good deal Al. I also put a phone call in to my local shop to see if they can dig up some new old stock. I'll let the group know tomorrow.
