Sounds like either your alternator or connections are crapping out.
Take the alternator to get tested if you can't find any bad connections.
I have had that happen before on one vehicle, where it turned out to be the starter that was bad, and not the alt. _________________ 1 sticker !!! lol |

prolly , replace your grounds from battery to engine and check ground strap from head to firewall. |
