I have had a few issues that have had me stumped on what is going on with the truck.
First is with the equalizer on you can hear audible whine coming through the speakers that go up and down with the engine rpms. It comes and goes it seems. Some days I won't hear it and others it's loud. Still cant figure out if it's affected by the weather.
Second I had an issue with my power tonight. Upon initial start voltage read above 13V but below the third mark for the gauge. Once I started driving my voltage dropped down to around 9 volts and stayed that way for a few miles. Once I got back on level ground (uphill climb going home) I noticed the voltage returned back to what I normally see and stayed that way till i got into the parking lot. Then it dropped down a to under 13V until I put it in park.
Come tomorrow I will put my mulitmeter on it and see if the battery is the issue. If not than I will go and get it tested.
Battery and alternator were replaced within the last few months. Alternator was a autozone refurb.
