Ok, so this is driving me insane.
I have a 03 1500 sierra with a 5.3, I am having the weirdest charging problem, when coming to a stop my alternator drops to around 9-10 volts and it'll usually stall if I don't throw it in neutral and bring the rpms up, as long as I brake in neutral it's fine. The battery seems to be charging well and it always restarts, i've checked all the connections and they are clean and tight. This is the clincher though, I put a new alternator on yesterday assuming that the reg was gone, and it's the same thing, it's almost like the truck is running directly off the alternator, it gets warmer than it should, but the battery seems to be charging, it starts well and will charge at 14.4 at idle, it works fine until it gets warm as well. Its strange. Ive tried looking this up on the net and nothing, i'm going to use the load tester at work to see if the battery is pooched, any advise would be appreciated.
