Weird Voltage issue ...
OK, the other night went to start my 2002 Tahoeand the battery seemed pretty close to dead. A couple of more attempts and it started.[/align][/align]Ran fine, figured battery was shot and I can run off alternator until I get home, PA to VA. On the way, the Volts meter in the car[/align]starts dipping randomly, lights start flashing, everything starts to reset, etc. Figure it was alternator after all, I pull into a Chevy dealer[/align]and they do a 'diagnostic' and everything seems fine, but the battery is shorted. They replace the battery and send me on my way.[/align][/align]20minutes later, same thing again, volts don't drop down as far for as long and it seemed to get worse the faster I went, was able to get home without[/align]issue. To the local Chevy dealer and they have had the truck for 6 hours and are telling me everything sees to be fine, they tested everything.[/align]I have a long ride coming up with two kids, can't risk it. Any ideas at all?[/align][/align]Current alternator is 13 months old.[/align]Told them to check belt tension.[/align][/align]HELP![/align]
