I have a 2005 Silverado with 22,000 original miles. I recently changed out the battery for a new one. Now my volt gauge is pegged to the right, the needle sits on the battery icon when the truck is running. When I shut the truck off, the needle only returns to almost the half way mark. I checked the connections and had the alt checked out, those two things are okay. I was told I have a bad connection somewhere. The truck starts okay and when I put a meter on the battery, the voltage is normal, running and off. Any suggestions on what to look for or what it could be? I don't want to take it to the dealer if it's something simple.

I have a 2013 Chevy Traverse never had much problems at all with it. I drove it today and it shut off with an issue with the battery, I knew right away that it was the alternator. I had it checked out and it is the alternator, I purchased a new one. With the very cold temperature and me being on my way home from the doctor already, I plan on doing this tomorrow morning, my problem is that its parked in a parking lot. Do I need to take the passenger side tire off , and the wheel well as to better be able to get to the alternator and the tension pulley? 2 Answers

I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado extended cab, 4.8 liter. I have had multiple issues with this vehicle, but the one I can't seem to solve is this: if I leave the truck sitting for a day, when I get in and start driving, about 5 miles down the road, it acts like it is being starved of fuel. The engine light starts blinking and there is no power even when i step on the gas fully. After a minute or two, it goes away and runs fine unless I let it sit for a couple days. I just replaced my fuel lines because they were rusted out but that didn't solve the problem. Any ideas anyone? 6 Answers

Engine light is always on and blinks on and off when problem occurs.
