Best truck ever till now
My 96 GMC 2wd 5.7 Suburban has been the best used truck I ever bought until about 2 weeks ago. Every morning I remote start it and after it runs about 15 min. I go out to leave for work. I put the key in and pull out of my driveway, about 20ft later the engine dies as if I pulled the cable off of the battery for about 3 seconds. I start it again and it runs great. It only did this in the morning. I even tried revving the engine before actually pulling out and it revs fine, it only happens when I actually pull out. As time has gone on it started happening 2 or 3 times before I get out of my alley and then fine. Now it started happening during the day like when I would go to Home Depot and be in the store for about an hour I came out and it died while in the parking lot as I was leaving. Today it finally did it while on my way home from work, I was just driving along and suddenly the dash lights came on like they do when you turn on the ignition but don't actually start the car and I culd feel the engine dieing and running several times as the dash lights came on and went off about 3 or 4 times and then it ran fine for the rest of the ride home. When I got home I let the engine run and opened the hood. I jiggled the battery cables and just about any other wire I could get my hands on and nothing seemed to affect it. I even jiggled the wires under the dash at the column and still nothing affected it.The truck has dual batteries and the primary battery is only about 5 months old, the alternator is about 5 months old and the second battery is about 2 years old, both batteries are delco 84 month. This is also the same truck I posted a few days ago about the headlights not working.
Thanks Very Much In Advance
