Description of the problem	Was driving the truck and all the warning lights come on and the truck just died. I tried to start it back up and heard a clicking noise. Thinking that it was just a battery problem, i put a jump box on it and it started. Took the jump box off and it died. Knew it was the alternator and had it towed to the shop. They put a new alternator on it and still was not charging. Changed the battery and still was not charging. Checked the fuse box and found a blown fuse for the pcm and changed it. It still was not charging. Like anyone else and product of elimination, voltage regulator. Go to change the voltage regulator and find out that they changed it to a module that they put inside the computer. Now, i have to have the whole computer changed or do without my truck while the computer is fixed. Why are they allowed to take such a simple part as a voltage regulator that commonly goes out and combine it with a majar part such as a computer that cost $100's of dollars to fix?
