Im well aware all the parts books list the widespread external mopar VRs that were used well before, but after 1988 on the 318 engines, and after 1989 for the 360 engine, all Dodge vans use a voltage regulator internal to the engine computer until they stopped making them in 2003.
The dashboard voltage regulator is seeking to hold 5 volts. The technology to hold this voltage is from the 1930's, and costs 37$ for a new one.
I instead installed a 3 amp Drok buck converter for under 7$.
I do not know if the stock dash ammeter is requiring this 5v source or not, Mine has been gone for many years now.
