I recently replaced the battery and alternator on my truck when I was having issues with a dead battery and poor charging. Last week, I started getting the battery light on my dash which has never happened before. Voltage testing showed it was probably my alternator. I replaced the alternator yesterday and voltage testing showed higher voltage at the battery when running and my battery light went away. This morning when I was leaving the house, my truck cut out when I was stopped and I had to crank it back up. I also thought that my lights were dimming while I was driving, but no battery light. Any ideas? I'm going to check my bolts on the alternator and make sure everything's tight.
