Hmm. One wire option. Is the regulator in the alternator?

Yes sir, it has what I would call a small external regulator on the alternator.

So you didn't fix the problem..... you bypassed it.  Irrelevant I guess seeing as you are going with a regulated alt.

Just a personal opinion,  but one wire alt's aren't as good as the original Mopar alt's

Going to remove the stock vr I would guess?

What do you do with the field wires and the stock regulator? Leave it unconnected.

You could look at it that way, but it sure seems to be fixed.

Took it for a spin on the weekend, with the eclectic fans installed and had no issue.

Yep just disconnect it and tape off the connectors.  I will likely dig into the wiring harness, which is not stock, I built it myself, and pull out those wires and remove the VR.

Hi Jason, I didn't mean to say that you didn't repair the charging system, obviously did. Just that the problem with the vr and wires was never quite determined..... it was made redundant. ...... and I was left hanging waiting to hear what the root cause of your issue was.... now I'll never know!
