I just put a new battery in thinking it was the problem but my truck is still acting up. Here is what its doing, starts up fine, put it in reverse it starts to idle down and almost dies. Put into drive its good, drive up to a stop light it idles down and the battery meter jumps lower than half, I go to take off the meter goes up over half. no other problems with the lights or radio. It just seems every time i have it in reverse or neutral it dies! please help i just bought it!
This is going to sound crazy but i had the same problem with my 2003 silverado, changed the plugs, battery, and alternator with no sucess at all. Finally took my truck to a well respected auto repair shop locally in my area and they suggested i change the fuel filter under the truck. Crazy right? Why not, so i did and my truck ran perfect after i changed it. Shop tech said my truck was starving for fuel which in turn was not letting the alternator spin above the correct RPMs at all times which in turn caused the electrical computer system to not operate correctly. If you tried everything might as well try the fuel filter before you have to spend big bucks at the repair shop. Hope this helps.
