    Damn. Looks like we might have another one. Several of us on the board, including myself, have had similar symptoms. Have your batt and alt professionaly load tested. Most auto parts stores will do it for free. Next check every connection you can think of. Make sure you have good clean metal to metal contact. Free of debris. Also, check for proper belt tension. If the belt is slipping, alt output will suffer. Also the belt will wear MUCH quicker. Do a search for the two topics we have made in the general section. Hmmm.... keywords.... voltage, alt, batt, not....
