Truck died :(
#1
Not a chevy truck but nobody really checks dodge shstuff on my other truck (05 dodge ram) my battery terminals were loose and my truck died... Now I tightened the terminals and it dies sometimes at low speeds. Tested the alternator and it checked out good battery is good. What else can I check?? Multimeter in hand so tell me what to hook it up to!!

How Exacatly did you test the battery???
FWIW The battery needs to be load tested. If it has a bad cell it won't show up till its under a load. Some times even the old carbon pile load detectors wont pick up a defective cell. The best way is a digital battery tester. It simulates different loads and can detect problems a regular carbon pile tester can not.

im no dodge expert, but my mom had an 04 ram that did the same thing, dodge has a reprogram for that, or at least that is what they told her, it is a very rare concern, they kept the truck for a week to figure it out. idk how they will deal with it cause your warranty may be up
