Ok i have a question i have replaced my alternator and battery they are new and i also put new ends on the cables. My question is when my truck is at a idle the lights are dim and when i give it acceleration the lights get bright. has anyone had this problem and also with this happening could it affect how my truck runs at a idle meaning my coil in my hei isnt getting enough juice at a idle but picks up when accelerating. Also what to do to fix it.?
