Stock IIRC is 105 amp's and the voltage regulator is internal,inside the alternator and looks something like this.You should be running about 14.0 volts @ idle

While I'm not sure I actually killed it, is it replaced separately or together with the alt?

You have to take the alternator apart and it is located inside the rear of the housing.
Here are some instructions that should help you rebuild the alternator.http://www.fourwheeler.com/howto/86978/
