[Bulk] [Gmecm] voltage regulators

[Jason M.]

I have the alternator apart to replace the failed rectifier.  To get the 
alternator apart you pretty much end up breaking the brushes, and the 
bearings didn't look so good/had a lot of play.

It's mostly back together.  Got the wrong size front bearing, so have to 
wait until monday to finish up.

btw, this is the original alternator, 14 years and 75,000 miles...
