electrical problem

When I start my truck (hot or cold), I have been noticing my voltage fluctuating quite a bit. My interior lights fade with the fluctuation. Are my batteries going dead or worse?

Re:electrical problem

Is it just the grid heater cycling? It is starting to get colder.

Re:electrical problem

I would agree with the grid heater theory. You might remember I'm just down the road from you in east KC and mine has been doing it lately, too.
