Still at it? It's 1 am!
I thought I was pulling a late night, doing some CAD for school...
doing a semesters work in one night is tough.
Where'd I put that coffee cup?
Seriously, I don't think you can wreck much. Are you leaving the voltage
regulator on the truck, or are you removing it completely? That's probably
the only part you could possibly fry (unsure of this - Never actually had to
deal with a broken one). I think by polarizing the generator with your
battery, establishing that it does have - polarity, and going from there, is
your best bet.
