My 02 chevy silverado is not charging the batery. My batery would slowly drain out while driving. I've replaced the batery with a new one, but still draining. I also have the alternator tested by autozone trice and it passes the test, but it still draining the batery. Sometime it would charge up if I run up the engine once or twice by stepping on the gas hard. Any subjestion on what's wrong?

If the alternator tests ok check for a slipping serpentine belt, and bad batter cables, or connections, especially the neg cable to block!
Check the pulley nut, make sure it's tight!
