New and a question
Hey guys! New to this forum and new to Chevy! Purchased a 2013 Suburban LT a few months ago and I'm pretty happy with my purchase.
BUT... lately (Since Monday), the truck just shuts off and then back on. It's happened on the freeway, in a parking lot, stopped at a light, etc... After a few days the only thing I've noticed is that the battery voltage starts to drop slowly to about 13.5 and then it cuts out.
i was hoping that maybe someone could point me in the right direction. I can do minor repairs so I'm hoping I can take care of it.

Some more info...
so I just got back and the suburban had power loss 3 times. When I got back, parked it and turned it off, the truck had no power so I couldn't lock it nor turn the truck back on. Waited a minute or two and I can hear the power come back and it started right up. Battery level was over 14

I would check the battery cables for looseness or corrosion. Sounds like it could be a grounding issue. 13.5 volts is not really low and should not cause the truck to shut off.

So I disconnected the battery overnight and trickle charged it. Also the connectors look super clean but I made sure it was tight.
it ran fine this morning but I'm going to look for the ground connection and make sure it's a solid and clean connection. I'm also going to potentially replace the super fuse at the battery terminal.
I also replaced the battery right when I bought the car.
