2003 GMC Sierra 1500. Originally needed boost to start, then stalled out 1 mile later after braking. Replaced battery now Starts no problem, idles fine but when revved then released the lights dim and battery dips to a quarter of the gauge. Lights also dim when switching into gear but as long as we give it gas it won't stall. Will drive okay but stalls on braking. Battery, alternator and Fuel Filter all brand new.
