My 95 ram 1500 will not charge. I replaced the alternator with a rebuilt unit and the same condition exists. I read the voltage reg is biult in the computer. Is this the case? Can I replace the computer with one from a salvage yard?

Hi commando@bayland. Net, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

If all the exterior wiring in the charging system checked out-could be coming from the computer field generation circuit of the alternator-You can try another computer or a new one make sure you have it flashed
