Tommy be sure to check all your connections most of the time when a reg/rec goes bad there is some heat involved and the plugs get melted then they fit looser and that makes the whole thing start over again.

Also consider a samll fan on the heat sink and make sure its mounted to a alumium back plate with the heat transfer paste. You can get the heat transfer paste at any electrical parts store I think Radio Shack even sells it.

Also consider one with a larger heatsink all reg/rec are is 3 diodes in a triangle you can use one from a different maker with out any problems.
