Ever wonder what happens if you break a ball joint on the trail?

I have done that, pulling off the positive cable to check the alternator on my cousin car. That was an expensive lesson. If I remember right, when I was younger we would do that to check the generator.

Yeah voltage regulators don't like to be regulated. LOL. Hey, I've burned a few alternators too, and I'm a professional and stayed at the Holiday Inn last night.
