It is likely your charge wire or field circuit is shorted. If you mean you want to install an external regulator, I cannot recommend that, as it will likely cause a fault to disconnect the alternator from the computer. Trace all of the alternator wires, big and small; and I believe you will find a short. If you have an ohmmeter, use it to make sure the field power wire is isolated from chassis ground.

no shortcut, had to take pulley off. It was'nt that bg a deal, just secure pulley so it won't turn while loosening. If the pulley had been 1/8th of an inch smaller in diameter, lower bolt would have came right out. Some engineer probably got a hell of a christmas bonus for that engineering marvel!!!
Thanks alot anyway,

Remove negative (-) battery terminal from battery. Remove drive belt from alternator pulley. Remove wiring harness (electrical connections) from alternator. Remove attaching bolts for alternator. Pry out alternator. Reverse steps to reinstall.

It is not a very difficult task, but one that would be better left to a professional for a couple of reasons. First, the system should be tested to be sure this is going to fix your problem. Many times a bad battery is the demon. Second, you will get a warranty with that repair if you have it done at a reputable garage/dealership. Just a couple of things to think about.

You must have blown a master fuse or fusible link.
Refer to the maintenance manual.
this happens sometimes during a jump start or a direct short in the elect system.
