GMC Suburban 96 / 140,000 miles With the lights turned on and the engine idling, the interior lights and headlights will flicker/jump. I have not added any aftermarket equipment. The battery needle will jump with the flicker/jump. My alternator and battery is fairly new (both replaced within 6 months). The engine runs smooth, no power window problems or any other electrical problems. Any help?

Kinda sounds like you have a belt slipping a little. Maybe the tension on it is not strong enough or it's wore down a little slick. This could account for your rise and fall of power output. Something to check on, anyway. Good luck 8)
