It could be either. Have you taken off the alternator and gone to Chief or 
Kragen?? (Well, something resembling a local chain auto parts store. They're 
all the same) They will test your alternator for you and tell you if its the 
alt. or the reg. or both. Thats the easiest way to do it. 
The regulator is included inside the alt, FYI.
