Have a small amp (200w), and occasional bottle heater for the N2O, but otherwise normal daily operations.

I replaced mine earlier this year. I bought a brand new one from valvegod@aol.com.

It's a truck 5.3 one. It was cheap. You don't end up reusing the smallest bolt, but it's not load bearing. Works great.

Thanks guys...my volt-meter is staying consistently below the halway mark lately. Think it's time for a replacement.
